The present paper analyses press releases, news reports and health plans to show
how health communication functions in perpetuating dominant racist structures.
The paper is mainly concerned with how normal science and health practices can
become an instrument for justifying racism and reproducing it in our societies.
The examples demonstrate that even when all forms of explicit racism are
avoided, health communication can have identifiable racist consequences in
people's lives.
