What is the political and epistemological significance of racialisation in medicine? What are the social processes by which racialisation occurs?

modern audiences, again making it a bit more digestible at the level of undergraduates and general interest readers, although more seasoned Harvey scholars might also appreciate the added clarity, or where there is confusion, he has left the original Latin. For example, making reference to the 1928 translation by Chauncey Leake, Carty identifies confusion over the vena arteriosa and arteriae venosae for which Leake criticised Willis, and so Carty diplomatically leaves the original Latin in the text as a point for Harvey scholars to consider. As Harvey himself was in some places a bit lax in providing notes, Carty has also filled in some of these gaps by providing added analysis and context in footnotes which would be helpful for readers who might not yet have had exposure to secondary analysis of Harvey’s work. For example, Harvey’s reference to ‘the learned Hofmann’ is brief in the original translation, and Carty provides further information on who Caspar Hofmann was, and how he and Harvey’s correspondence further refined Harvey’s theory on the movement of the the blood through the heart. Moreover, throughout the notes, there is consistent emphasis on and explanations of Harvey’s philosophical leanings, which keep the reader firmly grounded in the broader landscape of scientific thought at the time. For example, when Harvey mentions ‘superior bodies’, Carty reminds readers how this alludes to Aristotelian cosmic physics; or, when Harvey is discussing decayed material, the notes expand on how Harvey subscribed to some notion of spontaneous generation and provide helpful detail on this theory and its origin, which the general reader or new student in the history of science may not have yet encountered. As a teaching resource, these notes add great value to the primary text. These features all show the sign of a careful and thorough consideration of Harvey’s writing and Willis’s translation, as well as consultation of appropriate secondary literature on the life and work of William Harvey; this new edition of De Motu Cordis will be of benefit for both instructors and students.
