1. 1. Building The Worlds That Kill Us

   How the Construction Industry's Practices Endanger Our Health and Environment

   

   "Building the Worlds That Kill Us" explores how social and economic structures have historically influenced health disparities in the United States. The authors, David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz, examine how factors like race, class, and gender have shaped who suffers from illness and who thrives. From the colonial era to modern times, the book highlights how systemic inequalities have led to differing health outcomes among various groups, including Indigenous peoples, enslaved individuals, immigrants, and workers. It also discusses how those affected by these disparities have fought for change, emphasizing that these outcomes are not inevitable but rather a result of societal choices.
