The authors appeal to and address educators in anatomical and medical education, medical doctors, researchers, scientists and illustrators in the biomedical arena. They add to current and ongoing conversations about the need for addressing Eurocentric and colonial thinking which have prejudicially impacted anatomical education, imagery production, healthcare delivery, medical diagnoses, funding and research. This book provides details of the historical origins of entrenched colonial and Eurocentric thinking which negatively impact on our biomedical field at numerous levels, to the detriment of many recipients of medical education and healthcare. Chapters address how a Eurocentric and colonial worldview is expressed in the production of the many images of the human body in educational material, that has till very recently depicted only people with light skin tones, to the exclusion of people with darker skin tones.
