Praise for Summer of Unlearning: “This book cracked my chest open and then taught me how to breathe again. A necessary scalpel for anyone trapped in the war metaphors of modern medicine.” — Patient advocate What if the way we think about health is making us sick? Western medicine saves lives. It also erases bodies, militarizes immunity, prescribes shame as healing, and calls compliance, care. Summer of Unlearning is not a textbook. It is a de-program. Over five weeks—five book introductions, five provocations, five invitations—a science decolonization writer and self-declared epistemo-pathologist guides you through the cracks in medicine’s foundations. From Foucault’s clinical gaze to Lorde’s scarred sovereignty, from Cohen’s unmasking of immunity as war to Piepzna-Samarasinha’s vision of access as love, and finally into the author’s own reframing of immunology through Dharmic and Bantu lenses. This is for patient advocates tired of being reduced to pathology and a problem to fix. For clinicians exhausted by the battlefield. For pharma leaders ready to hear that “patient-centered” is not a slogan. For anyone who suspects that healing requires more than data—and that the global majority has always known what Western science forgot. The summer of unlearning does not end when you close this cover. It ends when you open the door to the patient‑led scientific revolution—the one that does not ask for permission, the one that is already here. Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. Meet the author there.
