Описание: This book focuses on the health, economic, and justice impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on racial equity. It does not simply document the problems made worse by the pandemic, but it provides historical context for issues that rose to the surface in new ways, the existing inequities revealed during COVID-19, and policy responses to those issues.
Описание: Foreword Chapter 1: Introduction: Challenges Facing People of Color in the Healthcare SystemCOVID-19 continues to wreak havoc in the United States for many Americans, but especially bringing disproportionate untold damage to people of color. This situation is not surprising because the U.S. health system operates on the doctrine of 'separate but equal', whereby the dominant group has access to quality health care and the people of color have access to a lesser quality or zero health care. The health system is segregated, whereby there is, by law, the de jure health system for all, but it is the de facto health system in effect that creates a segregated health system, one for the dominant group and one for the people of color. And 'separation' implies and enforces inferiority in health care. Chapter 2: Systemic Racism in Public Health in the United States -- A Systematic Review of the LiteratureThis Chapter carries the findings of the systematic review of the literature on systemic racism in public health in the United States. Systemic racism, conceptually, is White-generated discrimination and other forms of oppression against people of color, that generally spreads throughout the society. The racism is systemic, as it represents racist ideas and practices that become embedded in institutions and networks, and which shape race relations in a White-dominated racial hierarchy. Public health is one of many institutions that racism has subverted. And so, racism drives the social determinants of health (housing, education, employment, etc.), and becomes a barrier to health equity. For instance, profound racial bias in health care has also fast-tracked inequitable health outcomes for people of color; the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academy of Medicine) in 2002 in its study of over 100 clinical studies found that racial minorities are less probable than whites to obtain required services, including clinically essential procedures. Health disparities, discrimination, and residential segregation are by-products of racism, which are usually discussed without showing their links to racism. And so, subverting the impact of racism enables the inequities to persist. The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on people of color is directly related to systemic racism. Chapter 3: Epidemiology of COVID-19This chapter presents the findings of several systematic reviews and meta-analyses on COVID-19 from scholarly journals over the period December 2019 through TBD 2020. - Origin and disease progression- Restrictive measures- Risk factors for infectious and severe outcomes- Therapeutics as interventions Chapter 4: Disproportionate Burden on Cases, Hospitalizations, and Mortality Among People of ColorThis Chapter presents the data and information on the disproportionate devastation of COVID-19 on people of color in the United States. COVID-19 numbers for laboratory-confirmed cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are still growing, and so the data is still preliminary. For instance, for 131 mainly black counties in the United States, the infection rate is 137.5/100 000 and the death rate is 6.3/100 000. This contagion rate is more than 3-fold higher than that in primarily white counties. Moreover, this death rate for largely black counties is 6-fold higher than in principally white counties. People of color are contracting COVID-19 infection more regularly and dying disproportionately. CDC statistics on COVID-19 cases as of April 19, 2020, suggested that about 34% of African Americans were confirmed cases, equally distributed by about a third in each of these age groups: 18-44, 45-64, and 65-74 years; and almost a third were aged under 18 years. About 23% of Hispanics/Latinos were confirmed
Описание: This volume maps out the ways in which the pandemic has impacted (most often disproportionately) societies, the successes and failures of means used to combat the virus, and the considerations and future possibilities - both positive and negative - that lie ahead.

Описание: Before the innovative work of Zora Neale Hurston, folklorists from the Hampton Institute collected, studied, and wrote about African American folklore. Like Hurston, these folklorists worked within but also beyond the bounds of white mainstream institutions. They often called into question the meaning of the very folklore projects in which they were engaged.Shirley Moody-Turner analyzes this output, along with the contributions of a disparate group of African American authors and scholars. She explores how black authors and folklorists were active participants—rather than passive observers—in conversations about the politics of representing black folklore. Examining literary texts, folklore documents, cultural performances, legal discourse, and political rhetoric, Black Folklore and the Politics of Racial Representation demonstrates how folklore studies became a battleground across which issues of racial identity and difference were asserted and debated at the turn of the twentieth century. The study is framed by two questions of historical and continuing import. What role have representations of black folklore played in constructing racial identity? And, how have those ideas impacted the way African Americans think about and creatively engage black traditions?Moody-Turner renders established historical facts in a new light and context, taking figures we thought we knew—such as Charles Chesnutt, Anna Julia Cooper, and Paul Laurence Dunbar—and recasting their place in African American intellectual and cultural history.

Описание: This book explores the power music has to address health inequalities and the social determinants of health and wellbeing. It examines music participation as a determinant of wellbeing and as a transformative tool to impact on wider social, cultural and environmental conditions. Uniquely, in this volume health and wellbeing outcomes are conceptualised on a continuum, with potential effects identified in relation to individual participants, their communities but also society at large. While arts therapy approaches have a clear place in the text, the emphasis is on music making outside of clinical contexts and the broader roles musicians, music facilitators and educators can play in enhancing wellbeing in a range of settings beyond the therapy room. This innovative edited collection will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners of music, social services, medical humanities, education and the broader health field in the social and medical sciences.
Описание: This is the first book to offer a comprehensive perspective on health and sickness among African Americans. It shows how living in a highly racialized society affects health through multiple social contexts, including neighborhoods, personal and family relationships, and the medical system.
Описание: At a time when participation in democratic governance exhibits a decrease among the less well-off and an increase of power among the elite, one big question concerns how to reverse this trend. Wood and Fulton have devoted this book to finding ways to build democratic participation by low-income and working families, and to create cross-racial alliances. Here s where faith-based organizations enter the picture. These organizations have been significant players in shaping health-care reform, financial reform, and immigration reform at higher levels of government, aimed at benefitting working families. It is a movement which directly addresses economic inequality, policy paralysis, and racial injustice in the United States. Faith-based organizing, the authors show, offers important lessons for an American public struggling to combine universalist democratic ideals with an increasingly multicultural reality in what will soon be a thoroughly multicultural society, as new immigrant arrivals and demographic diffusion spread diversity into settings that were once bastions of white subculture. Models for community organizing have been supplied over time by Saul Alinsky, Cesar Chavez, and Martin Luther King, Jr. "A Shared Future" has a distinctly empirical focus on one of the most important sponsoring networks for faith-based organizations: PICO (Pacific Institute for Community Organizations), which shifted neighborhood-based organizations to congregation-based organizations. They achieved a high profile during the formation of health care policy that found its way into Obamacare legislation, and have also been an important agent for addressing racial equity. Wood and Fulton here address a new generation of faith-based community organizers, seeking to ground the movement in what they call ethical democracy, and fleshing out an approach to addressing economic inequality and political paralysis."

Описание: Can the church help America emerge from its racist shadows empowered to heal racial divides? Church pastor and former police officer Terrell Carter says yes. While our faith inarguably calls Christians to unity, the hard fact remains: we're still tragically divided when it comes to race, even - and especially, many say -- in our churches. Racism pervades our faith, our relationships, and our institutions in deep, often imperceptible ways. In Healing Racial Divides, Terrell Carter, a pastor, professor and former police officer takes us on a revelatory journey into the abyss of the racial divide and shows us how we've arrived at this divisive place. Understanding racism's roots - and our place in it - we surface more committed and empowered to defeat racism once and for all. Drawing from the Bible, scholarly research, and personal experience as a both a former police officer and a black pastor serving white congregations, Carter unpacks the deep roots of racism in America, how it continues to be perpetuated today, and practical strategies for racial reconciliation. Looking forward, he shapes a bold and faithful vision for healing racial division through multicultural communities focused on relationship, listening, and learning from each other. With a pastor's heart and an academic's head, Carter invites us to look at where we've been-and where God calls us as spiritually mature Christians, seeking healing and true unity on earth. In Healing Racial Divides, Terrell Carter helps us: Understand the roots of racism in the world, the church, and ourselves ? Gain a biblical perspective on the sin of racism, as well as the biblical call to Christian unity ? Examine how racism continues to be perpetuated in America today ? Explore the concept of "white normality" and its aftereffects ? Discover a way across the divide through the creation of multi-cultural relationships, churches and communities
Описание: In 1748, as yellow fever raged in Charleston, South Carolina, doctor John Lining remarked, ""There is something very singular in the constitution of the Negroes, which renders them not liable to this fever."" Lining's comments presaged ideas about blackness that would endure in medical discourses and beyond. In this fascinating medical history, Rana A. Hogarth examines the creation and circulation of medical ideas about blackness in the Atlantic World during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. She shows how white physicians deployed blackness as a medically significant marker of difference and used medical knowledge about black bodies to improve plantation labor efficiency, safeguard colonial and civic interests, and enhance control over black bodies during the era of slavery. Hogarth refigures Atlantic slave societies as medical frontiers of knowledge production on the topic of racial difference. Rather than looking to their counterparts in Europe who collected and dissected bodies to gain knowledge about race, white physicians in Atlantic slaveholding regions created and tested ideas about race based on the contexts in which they lived and practiced. What emerges in sharp relief is the ways in which blackness was reified in medical discourses and used to perpetuate notions of white supremacy.
