Jonathan M. Metzl: Dying of Whiteness (Hardcover, 2019, Basic Books)

Good read. Lots of research with lots of graphs.

Focuses on three states and how gun, healthcare and education policies and laws also affect white people when they believe they’re being introduced to “help” them.

Poor state of affairs. And this book was published years ago and does not take into account the current state of things.

Poor USA.
