Weathering

In Weathering, Dr. Arline T. Geronimus draws on over 30 years of research to explore how systemic injustice, including racism and economic inequality, directly impacts the health of marginalized communities. She introduces the concept of “weathering,” illustrating how societal oppression accelerates aging and health decline, and highlights stark disparities in health outcomes across different populations in the U.S. The book aims to shed light on this often-overlooked issue and offers potential solutions for addressing health inequities rooted in social injustice.
