Healing Politics was published after Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's failed bid for the Michigan Democratic gubernatorial nomination. He recounts his roots and his journey to become Michigan's governor. I thoroughly enjoyed the bibliographic part of the book. Secondly, being an epidemiologist, seeing our challenges, especially while he served as Detroit's Health Director, he connects the dots for readers; that is, the cause and effect of the inequalities in American society, Thirdly, as a politician, he deconstructs current polices and structures that are impeding progress in the education, health, economic, criminal justice (and more) space. In his last chapter, he recommends 13 policies on how we should move forward.
Few know what a progressive platform looks like. Debates during the democratic nomination process is not structured to look deeply into how policies can be implemented. However, by solely reading the last chapter, regardless if you support some, none, or all of the ideas put forth, one can get clarity of what a progressive platform looks like.
I started reading Healing Politics before the killing of George Floyd and during the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. When I started, and because of the disparity in health Covid-19 outcomes, I thought, "How timely." Now, with the voices on the street asking, "Do you hear us now?", I can only reiterate, "How timely!"
