Reviews
An excellent resource for researchers interested in the unique story of the creation and development of African American medical schools in the US.
The Morehouse Mystique will be of value to many readers: those interested in twentieth century American history and American medical education, African-American medical schools, and health care inequities. It can also be thought of as a case study in how to start up a medical school, how to develop a board of directors, and how to work with strong and nationally-known personalities.
... This books does an excellent job of describing the conditions that made the Morehouse School of Medicine a much needed institution...
The Morehouse Mystique provides a superb history of the creation and development of a singularly important American medical school. The book is chock full of insights, beautifully written, and firmly anchored in the medical and cultural context of its time. More than that, it speaks to the soul of medicine and offers inspiration and hope for a healthier and better America.
