Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the intersection of anti-Black racism and health, Keisha S. Ray uncovers the systemic factors contributing to health disparities faced by Black Americans. She emphasizes that these disparities are not due to inherent inferiority but stem from inequitable access to essential social determinants such as clean air, healthcare, and housing. Focusing on critical areas like pregnancy, clinical pain management, and cardiovascular health, Ray highlights how social institutions perpetuate these inequities, underscoring the need for systemic change.
