One Blood: The Death and Resurrection of Charles
R. Drew (UNC
Press, 1996) is a biography of the African-American pioneer
of blood plasma research and blood banking. The book also explores the
well-known legend that Drew bled to death as a result of being refused
treatment at a whites-only Southern hospital. Relying heavily on oral
history, One Blood examines the complex
relationship between record and myth in both the popular creation and
formal construction of American history.
