Race, Ethnicity, And Health: A Public Health Reader Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Race, Ethnicity and Health, Second Edition, is a new and critical selection of hallmark articles that address health disparities in America. It effectively documents the need for equal treatment and equal health status for minorities. Intended as a resource for faculty and students in public health as well as the social sciences, it will be also be valuable to public health administrators and frontline staff who serve diverse racial and ethnic populations. The book brings together the best peer reviewed research literature from the leading scholars and faculty in this growing field, providing a historical and political context for the study of health, race, and ethnicity, with key findings on disparities in access, use, and quality. This volume also examines the role of health care providers in health disparities and discusses the issue of matching patients and doctors by race. There has been considerable new research since the original manuscript’s preparation in 2001 and publication in 2002, and reflecting this, more than half the book is new content. New chapters cover: reflections on demographic changes in the US based on the current census; metrics and nomenclature for disparities; theories of genetic basis for disparities; the built environment; residential segregation; environmental health; occupational health; health disparities in integrated communities; Latino health; Asian populations; stress and health; physician/patient relationships; hospital treatment of minorities; the slavery hypertension hypothesis; geographic disparities; and intervention design.

A very comprehensive overview of the issues around minority health in the United States. Does not deal with international issues, but the topic of race, ethnitity and health in the US is big enough. You are interested in learning about the topic, this is a very good place to start. You will be depressed after reading some of this. The studies described in the book are convincing and you can't help but conclude that we have a serious problem with regard to minority health.
This book contains alot of studies for the chapters, studies as in research you would read in a peer-reviewed journal. This is the 2012 edition, but some of the research is old, like from 1970.. not the best pick!!

This text I would highly recommend to public health and social work professionals and those interested in the field. Excellent resource.
The reviews in this book are very informative. I used it for discussion and writing papers in my public health course.
This text has wonderful reviews of health disparities in our country. Each topic is an elaborate encounter of the reality of health disparities. I for one want to be an advocate for African Americans after reading this text.
Excellent reader - required reading for my undergraduate public health students in heath disparities.
Love this book! Great material and covers so many subjects on race/ethnicity and health.
