Black Women and Public Health

<p><b>Moves Black women's voices and experiences from the margins to the center of conversations about public health.</b></p><p><b>2022 </b><b><i>CHOICE</i></b><b> Outstanding Academic Title </b></p><p><i>Black Women and Public Health</i> creates an urgently needed interdisciplinary dialogue about issues of race gender and health. An enduring history of racism sexism and dehumanization of Black women's bodies has largely rendered the health needs of the Black community inaudible and invisible. Grounded in the lived experiences and expertise of Black women this collection bridges gaps between researchers practitioners educators and advocates. Black women's public health work is a regenerative practice-one that looks backward inward and forward to improve the quality of life for Black communities in the United States and beyond. The three dozen authors in this volume offer analysis critique and recommendations for overcoming longstanding and contemporary challenges to equity in public health practices.</p>
