DESCRIPTION:Nic Jon Ramos\, Assistant Professor at the University of Texas 
 Austin and USC PhD ’18\, will give a talk on his new book\, Health as Pr
 operty: Racial Capitalism and Sexual Liberalism in Los Angeles. Organized 
 by the ASE RAce GEnder and Sexuality Research Cluster.\n\n \n\nHealth as P
 roperty shows how responses to racism can be predatory\, harmful\, and dan
 gerous to poor people of color. Nic John Ramos examines a Black-led academ
 ic medical center known as King-Drew that was built in response to the 196
 5 Watts Uprising. Forged by the political willingness of white voters to e
 xperiment with anti-poverty programs in poor neighborhoods of color\, the 
 health system's multiple missions represented the freedom dreams of civil 
 rights\, Black Power\, welfare rights\, and consumer rights activists in t
 he 1960s and 1970s. Health as Property demonstrates how healthcare policy 
 in America is both labor and real estate policy\, and as such preserves he
 alth as the property of a select few.
