Movement and Crisis: A Social Health Manifesto

Abstract

In this Article, we employ the terms Health (as a white supremacist mode of being) and social health to demystify how race and health are mobilized by the state and its representative bodies to shift accountability away from their role in crafting an anti-Black world, contain and quell Black protest, and how Black communities have dreamt and practiced alternative definitions of health whereby empowerment was achieved both nutritionally and politically.
