Eric Reinhart Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

@MaxJordan_N This is not a remotely original thought, by the way, but something more or less along the lines of Sylvia Wynter's famous essay on the overrepresentation of 'Man,' Spivak's "Can the subaltern speak?," and Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks.

In 2011, @Atul_Gawande asked in his "super-utilizers" New Yorker article if we could improve health and reduce spending by focusing on better care for patients with highest need. This paradigm is even more key for public health and safety, where it's been largely ignored. 1/

@gregggonsalves Thank you, Gregg. Your thinking and your Boston Review essay with @akapczynski on the politics of care, linked once more in this OpEd (once more because I cite it everywhere), has been hugely important for me.

Applying abolition to healthcare, which necessarily requires strong institutional supports, underlines what people like Angela Davis have long taught us: Abolition is not just about dismantling; it’s about reconstituting institutions in forms designed to ensure reparative care.

@lawrence_wright "First we must study how colonization works to decivilize the colonizer, to brutalize him in the true sense of the word, to degrade him, to awaken him to buried instincts, to covetousness, violence, race hatred, and moral relativism..." -Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism

Derecka Purnell has been presenting sharp, concise, and popularly accessible cases for abolition in countless interviews before and since her book Becoming Abolitionists was published https://t.co/lIB4oVY6xt

@Bianca17737904 I've this loosely related essay (more forthcoming), but for teaching I'd recommend Fanon's "Medicine and Colonialism" with Althusser on "Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses" and excerpts from Foucault on madness, the medical gaze, and biopolitics. https://t.co/a2J6Bob1Rs
