Recenzje

This book is an essential addition to the growing list of books that bring scientific analysis to the study of racism across many different sectors of society. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has compiled an impressive slate of scholars who address the highly complex nature of racism and how it degrades human dignity and the length and quality of life. This book is essential reading for anyone working in the health sciences or social services or anyone who seeks to understand how and why the color of someone's skin can determine their health.
