Fullilove spent several years as a community psychiatrist before joining the University of California, San Francisco’s Center for AIDS Prevention Studies in 1986. She continued studying AIDS and other problems of inner-city neighborhoods after moving to New York City in 1990. As part of a funded study of the long-term consequences of urban renewal for African Americans, she co-founded NYC Recovers, an alliance of organizations concerned with the social and emotional recovery of New York City in the aftermath of 9/11.
She is the author of numerous articles, book chapters, monographs and books, including “The House of Joshua: Meditations on Family and Place” (Universityof Nebraska Press, 1999) and “Root Shock: How Tearing Up City Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It” (One World/Ballantine, 2004).
