Title: Oppression
Description: "Yes, being overweight and smoking can cause heart disease. But why is the incidence of smoking and obesity tethered to social class? Yes, lack of formal education results in significantly lower life chances. But why is lack of educational achievement so racalized? The authors of this book tackle these kinds of questions with a frank and critical perspective." --From the introduction.
