Harry's Bird
Grace DeMarco is at an age when she should be playing bridge and whacking golf balls, but instead, she is falling apart. Her husband has died and left her broke and in debt. The seventeen-year old grandson she is raising has discovered pot, and her younger daughter has come home to live bringing her young son with her. Worst of all, Grace DeMarco, celebrated San Francisco portrait painter, has sunk into an apathy so debilitating she cannot get out of bed let alone pick up a paintbrush. No painting means no money. And no money means Swallow Ranch, her ten-acre spread in the foothills of Mt. Diablo, is becoming a dilapidated ruin. Like it or not, Grace has to find a way to pull up her socks and get on with it before they are all living in her Silverado and dumpster diving for dinner. Grace DeMarco is not the only older woman raising a grandchild. According to the Washington Times, one in ten U.S. children lives with a grandparent. Harry's Bird is the heartwarming and often humorous story of a family's struggle to overcome obstacles and find personal happiness.
Subject Taboo
I was born in Lincolnshire in 1949 my mother left my brother and I; just walked out one day and never came back, hence the poem on page 72. That day has remained with me ever since. I became a nurse and looked after people for most of my life, and in between, I was always writing poetry. At one stage, I was a performing artist and would read my poetry in the pubs and clubs of Cambridge. Then I wrote the sentimental words that you see in greeting cards (I mainly wrote for Blue Mountain Arts). I was also on the radio and television, and I had CDs and tape recordings. There was also a national poetry competition, for which I wrote a poem called 'Mother'. I received a large sum of money for that...
An American Health Dilemma
At times mirroring and at times shockingly disparate to the rise of traditional white American medicine, the history of African-American health care is a story of traditional healers; root doctors; granny midwives; underappreciated and overworked African-American physicians; scrupulous and unscrupulous white doctors and scientists; governmental support and neglect; epidemics; and poverty. Virtually every part of this story revolves around race. More than 50 years after the publication of An American Dilemma, Gunnar Myrdal's 1944 classic about race relations in the USA, An American Health Dilemma presents a comprehensive and groundbreaking history and social analysis of race, race relations a...
An American Health Dilemma
First published in 2002. An American Health Dilemma is the story of medicine in the United States from the perspective of people who were consistently, officially mistreated, abused, or neglected by the Western medical tradition and the US health-care system. It is also the compelling story of African Americans fighting to participate fully in the health-care professions in the face of racism and the increased power of health corporations and HMOs. This tour-de-force of research on the relationship between race, medicine, and health care in the United States is an extraordinary achievement by two of the leading lights in the field of public health. Ten years out, it is finally updated, with a new third volume taking the story up to the present and beyond, remaining the premiere and only reference on black public health and the history of African American medicine on the market today. No one who is concerned with American race relations, with access to and quality of health care, or with justice and equality for humankind can afford to miss this powerful resource.

Dying While Black
According to Randall, Blacks suffer from the generational effect of a slave health deficit that was not relieved during the reconstruction period (1865-1870), the Jim Crow Era (1870-1965), the Affirmative Action Era (1965-1980), or the Racial Entrenchment Era (1980 to present). Repairing the health of Blacks will require a multi-facet long term legal and financial commitment.
