"Unlike other books on this topic, the second edition will continue to focus primarily on the social justice issues associated with health disparities with an aim towards solutions. The new edition, like its predecessor, with a focus on racial and ethnic emerging majorities, will acknowledge that health disparities persist but provide insight as to why, with an emphasis on how to remedy the problems rather than just research and converse about it. The book's aim is to help people identify how students, academics, communities, health professionals and beyond can contribute to the resolution of the problems that are linked to health disparities"--Provided by publisher.
