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...
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.
Unequal Treatment
Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior ...

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.
