Why Chosen
"Dying of Whiteness," written by Jonathan M. Metzl, is a compelling exploration of how certain political and policy decisions, rooted in racial resentment, can lead individuals to vote against their own economic and health interests. The book examines the paradoxical ways in which these choices ultimately harm the well-being of the very communities that support them.
