This book describes problems faced by underserved and unserved
populations. These are the growing number of migrants, refugees,
and asylum seekers, as well as those among native born populations
who lack equal access to basic health and education services,
nutrition, clean water, and adequate living conditions. These
inequalities result from the power deficit that derives from
structural or systemic racism. Critical reflection or critical
thinking allows us to better understand the systemic exercise of
power by dominant groups that support a racial or ethnic hierarchy
that has a negative impact on the living standards of the
underserved and unserved. This hierarchy establishes a ranking of
groups under the control of a dominant group, leading to
inequalities in education, healthcare, income, and wealth. Critical
reflection allows us to recognize how systems of privilege and
oppression have influenced our thinking and actions. Studies
conducted in the United States and South Africa show that
marginalized groups reported receiving poor quality of health care,
facing discrimination because of their race or ethnicity and
communication/language barriers. The chapters in this book examine
the inequalities faced by underserved and unserved populations in
several countries across the globe, with strategies to address
these problems. This book would be of interest to the general
population, along with courses in health care, sociology, political
science, and courses and schools of public health.
