About this book

Chip Jones investigates the case of Bruce Tucker, whose heart was transplanted into a white patient in Virginia in 1968 without his family’s knowledge or permission. This history of medical inequality examines the institutional ambitions behind early transplant surgery and connects Tucker’s experience with a longer record of racial discrimination in medical care.
