Zerhouni To Be 15th NIH Director By Rich McManus
The 'Haves' Still 'Racialize' Have-nots, Says Holt By Rich McManus
Jazz and blues singer Billie Holiday sang it many years ago, and the
Bible said it even earlier than that: "Them that's got shall get, them
that's not shall lose," which capsulizes a message given by scholar
Dr. Thomas C. Holt at the inaugural talk in a new series launched
by NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities on Apr. 11.
Wealthy elites of the new global economy still depend, as did their
economic ancestors of the 16th century trans-Atlantic slave trade,
on the cheap labor of an exploitable workforce. Economic might,
Holt argues, determines most facets of the political economy of any
historical era; the wealthy, therefore, can "racialize," or stigmatize
and exploit, whatever group constitutes the impoverished of the
moment.
