The forty-year Tuskegee Syphilis Study; which took place in and around Tuskegee; Alabama; from the 1930s through the 1970s; has become a profound metaphor for medical racism; government malfeasance; and physician arrogance. Susan M. Reverby's Examining Tuskegee is a comprehensive analysis of the notorious study of untreated syphilis among African American men; who were told by U.S. Public Health Service doctors that they were being treated; not just watched; for their late-stage syphilis. With rigorous clarity; Reverby investigates the study and its aftermath from multiple perspectives and illuminates the reasons for its continued power and resonance in our collective memory.

Some interesting stories of events makes this an enjoyable read. Also; the book is divided into periods of history - this enabled me to read a section and then read another; longer book and then return and read the next period. There are many illustrations which need magnification to enhance their enjoyment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great narrative of human interaction with the seaBy J.
