“After almost forty years of research in public health and a lifetime of wrestling with questions of racial and class injustice, I have concluded that a process I call weathering, a process that encompasses the physiological effects of living in marginalized communities that bear the brunt of racial, ethnic, religious, and class discrimination, is critical to understanding and eliminating population health inequity.”
Arline T. Geronimus, Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society

“Hearing the stories of working-class Black people like Jason Hargrove, and learning the stark fact that Black Americans are more than twice as likely to die of the virus as whites, a broad swath of the American public was forced to take notice of something they had ignored until then.”
Arline T. Geronimus, Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society

“Even Blackness and whiteness are fluid. Historically, the demographic groups welcomed under the umbrella of whiteness have evolved over time, which tells us much about how arbitrary their boundaries are. For example, Irish, Italian, and Eastern European Jewish immigrants to the United States in the early to mid-twentieth century were classified toward, and sometimes on, the “Black” side of the binary. It is equally well known that these groups were effectively reclassified toward the “white” side of the binary starting around the 1950s.”
