Introduction

Red Medicine is a monthly broadcast exploring radical politics, medical anthropology and the sociology of science. In this episode I'll be speaking to Gabriel Winant who's interested in the history of labour in the United States. He documents how de-industrialization transformed what work looked like for a huge number of Americans. The healthcare industry now employs more Americans than any other industry. What does his history tell us about the gendered and racialised politics of healthcare? You can find out more at redmedicine.com.
