Delivers a comprehensive toolbox for understanding race and racism at structural, institutional, and individual levelsThis nursing handbook introduces and defines key terms about race and racism for nurses, nursing students, and nurse educators. It addresses how race and racism act as structural and core social determinants of health and propel health inequities. It moves beyond a focus on multicultural approaches for understanding inequity toward a recognition of the broader impact that both systemic and structural racism have had on inequality in health and life opportunities. Through a social justice lens, the book underscores how nurses, as frontline health professionals, need to understand racism as a factor behind these inequities and its significance to their working environment and nursing practice. In concise chapters with brief paragraphs and bulleted information, this practical handbook offers strategies for how to productively engage in a dialogue about race and racism. It considers the history of racism in the United States and then breaks down how it operates at structural, institutional, and individual levels.

This is God's love song without sound. His sermon without words. His dance without motion. His classic work of art. It is God's Masterpiece, painted in blood and floodlit with glory. Yes, here on this lonnely mount called Calvary, God the Father has dipped His brush into the blood of His own Son. With tender touches of mercy and blazing strokes of judgment, He has painted His love on the canvas of His own Son's flesh. He has raised Him up on the easel of the Cross. Displayed Him in the gallery of Golgotha. Pulled back the veil and thundered through Heaven and Earth.
