This timely volume addresses the interpersonal, institutional, and structural factors underpinning inequities in healthcare access, experiences, and outcomes among racialised communities living in the United Kingdom (UK) today. Bringing together researchers from the UK and Ireland, ranging from established scholars and early-career researchers to those working at the interface of research and community health, this volume assembles their trailblazing work to examine the complex relationship between race, racism, and health.
Organised according to the following six themes: Questioning, Research and Data, Maternal Health, Mis/Trust in Services, Chronic Conditions and the Social Determinants of Health, and Beyond Resilience, the chapters uncover how racially unjust systems and practices generate unequal outcomes, while outlining the urgent changes needed to redress these systemic inequities.
By examining how racial inequities are produced, sustained, and compounded across key domains of society, healthcare, and health research, the volume offers a critical guide for understanding and, more importantly, addressing racial and ethnic inequities in health in the UK.
This unique and important book is essential reading for educators, students, and policy makers within public health, medical education, public policy, and beyond.
