(Detroit News) Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed will catalog his experiences growing up as a Muslim American, working in Detroit and stumping on the campaign trail last year in a book set to be released in spring 2020.
“Moral Medicine” will explore the political landscape and how to inject more empathy into American politics, said El-Sayed, whose progressive campaign came up short in his primary challenge of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The former Rhodes scholar and Detroit health director has been working on the book since the end of his primary campaign. The book focuses on a shift from identity-based politics to empathy-based politics, he said.
