    "description": "The history of international banking, the commodification of black masculinity, the buying and selling of women's eggs, Michelle Obama's dubious advice to black youth, and the workings of affirmative action at elite universities viewed through the lens of racial capitalism.In Racist Logic, lead essayist Donna Murch writes that \"historically, the division between 'dope' and medicine was the race and class of users.\u201d By using the concept of \"racial capitalism\u201d to examine the opioid crisis alongside the War on Drugs, Murch brings an otherwise familiar story into new territory. To understand the twisted logic that created the divergent responses to drug use\u2014succor and sympathy for white users, prison and expulsion for people of color\u2014Murch shows how a racialized regime of drug prohibitions led Purdue Pharma to market OxyContin specifically to whites.Alongside Murch, contributors consider how racial capitalism helps us understand the history of international banking, the commodification of black masculinity, the buying and selling of women's eggs, Michelle Obama's dubious advice to black youth, and the workings of affirmative action at elite universities.ContributorsMichael Collins, Richard Thompson Ford, Helena Hansen, David Herzberg, Peter James Hudson, Jonathan Kahn, L.A.
