Reimagining Black Masculinities: Race, Gender, and Public Space
addresses how Black masculinities are created, negotiated, and
contested in public spaces, focusing on how theory meets praxis
when mobilizing for social change. Contributors disentangle
complexities of the Black experience and reimagine the radical
progressive work required for societal health and wellbeing,
forming a mental picture of what the world has the potential to be
without excluding current realities for Black boys and men, civic
manhood, maleness, and the fluidity of masculinities. These
realities are acknowledged and interrogated across private and
public contexts, media, education, occupation, and theoretical
perspectives. This book encourages readers to reenvision social
identity as an ongoing phenomenon, asserting that collective vision
informs action and collective action informs possibilities for
peace and freedom in the world around us. Scholars of
communication, gender studies, and race studies will find this book
particularly interesting.

Health Care Disparities and the LGBT Population addresses a people
whose lack of health care access, including mistreatment and
refusal of services, are often omitted from discussions about
health care and insurance reform. Research suggests that LGBT
people experience worse health outcomes than their heterosexual
counterparts. Low rates of health insurance coverage, high rates of
stress due to systematic harassment, stigma, discrimination, and
lack of cultural competency in the health care system frequently
manifest in negative health-related behaviors. The dearth of data
collection on sexual orientation and identity in state and federal
health care surveys has led to inadequate information about LGBT
populations, and has impeded the establishment of health programs
and public policies that benefit them. With its diverse
perspectives, this book will not only benefit LGBT people, but will
also more broadly improve the lives of entire communities, medical
care, and prevention programs and services. This research provides
a better understanding of the social and structural inequalities
that LGBT populations experience. Improvements to our country's
health care system should go beyond just providing universal
insurance and should ensure equitable health care for all.
This co-edited volume addresses a population of people whose lack
of health care access, mistreatment in health care settings, and
refusal of health care services are often omitted from discussions
about health care disparities and insurance reform. The
perspectives and needs of LGBT people should be routinely
considered in public health efforts to improve the overall health
of every person and eliminate health disparities. Previous research
suggests that LGBT people experience worse health outcomes than
their heterosexual counterparts. Differences in sexual behavior
account for some of these disparities, but others are associated
with social and structural inequities. Low rates of health
insurance coverage, high rates of stress due to systematic
harassment, stigma, and discrimination, and a lack of cultural
competency in the health care system frequently manifest in
negative health-related behaviors. The lack of data collection on
sexual orientation and identity in state and federal health care
surveys leads to inadequate information about LGBT populations and
impedes the establishment of health programs and public policies
that benefit them.This volume's research will increase people's
understanding of the social and structural inequalities that LGBT
populations experience. With its diverse perspectives, this book
will not only benefit LGBT people, but will also more broadly
improve the lives of entire communities, medical care, and
prevention programs and services. Improvements to our country's
health care system should go beyond providing universal insurance
and should ensure equitable health care for all.
