Opis

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected communities of color whilst highlighting the prevalence of structural racism in the U.S. This crucial collection of essays, written by scholars from various fields, explores how COVID-19 has impacted upon Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities and race relations in the U.S.

Recenzje

"This collection of essays by a group of distinguished scholars examines the impact of COVID-19 on America's racial and ethnic minorities. I highly encourage anyone interested in this timely and important topic to reflect on these essays from various methodologies on the wide array of lessons learned from the pandemic."

Jason Casellas, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Houston, USA

"Drawing together cutting-edge scholarship from across multiple disciplines, this collection of essays powerfully details how the COVID-19 pandemic both unveiled and exacerbated systemic and persistent racial inequities for communities of color across the United States. This is a must-read for policymakers and scholars of public health, race, and political science."

Teresa Irene Gonzales, Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA

"The authors cover disparities in access to healthcare, the effects of a lack of appropriate media coverage, the effects of racism, and almost every institutional aspect that affected the response to COVID-19 to effectively demonstrate the devastating disproportionate effects on the Latinx and African American communities. Indeed, as Navarro and Hernandez claim, it is a 'race war' being waged on communities of color through the failure of the system to respond properly and the inability of these communities to access healthcare generally."

Henry Flores, Distinguished University Research Professor Emeritus of Political Science, St. Mary's University, USA
