Racial disparities in health and life expectancy are public health
problems that have existed since before the US became a country and
affect all American's lives. On average, Black Americans have
poorer overall health than White Americans and receive lower
quality healthcare. This volume presents research from a broad
range of academic disciplines, personal narratives, and historical
sources to explain the origins of anti-Black racism and describe
specific ways in which it threatens both Black Americans' health
and the quality of their medical care. Using their own research and
public policy expertise, the authors analyze the critical roles of
individual and systemic racial bias in these racial health
disparities and their consequence for all Americans. They also
identify current viable interventions that can reduce current
racial health disparities. Unequal Health is invaluable to
professionals who study health disparities and lay people who are
concerned about them.
