African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans represent 27
percent of the United States population, yet they constitute less
than 11 percent of nurses and 8 percent of physicians. In Racism in
Health Care: Alive and Well, author Marie Edwige Seneque discusses
how this long history of racism continues to shortchange the
national recruitment and retention of minority health care
providers which contributes to racial and ethnic health
disparities.
Racism in Health Care: Alive and Well dismantles and examines
the many layers involved in the complex health care system
including physician attitude, nursing in the twenty-first century,
the lack of cultural competence, and the belief that the "r" word
should remain unspoken.
During extensive research, Seneque, a registered nurse,
compiled already existing data regarding racial and ethnic
disparities. She communicates her findings in a simplified,
easy-to-read format. In Racism in Health Care: Alive and Well, she
exposes the glaring disparities for minorities in the health care
delivery system and why racism is alive and well in the United
States.
