From preeminent LGBTQ scholar, social critic, & journalist Steven W. Thrasher comes a powerful & crucial exploration of one of the most pressing issues of our times: how viruses expose the fault lines of society.
Having spent a ground-breaking career studying the racialization, policing, & criminalization of HIV, Dr. Thrasher has come to understand a deeper truth at the heart of our society: that there are vast inequalities in who is able to survive viruses & that the ways in which viruses spread, kill, & take their toll are much more dependent on social structures than they are on biology alone.
Told through the heart-rending stories of friends, activists, & teachers navigating the novel coronavirus, HIV, & other viruses, Dr. Thrasher brings the reader with him as he delves into the viral underclass and lays bare its inner workings. In the tradition of Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste & Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow, The Viral Underclass helps us understand the world more deeply by showing the fraught relationship between privilege & survival.
