| Essential reading for
understanding how racial bias taints the delivery of health care in
the United States. Professor Randall's cogent analysis provides
hope for correcting this injustice. Stephanie M. Wildman Professor of Law and Director, Center for Social Justice and Public Service Santa Clara University School of Law www.scu.edu/law/socialjustice |
| Dying While Black is a
singular achievement. Professor Randall produces the "smoking
gun" connection between white privilege, racism, slavery and Black
health outcomes. This book combines careful documentation of the
past and a plethora of data with deft, compelling storytelling. The
result is a nuanced, forward looking narrative that not only
provides evidence of what's wrong and why, but offers a concrete
proposal for what we can to do now to make a difference. This book
is mandatory reading if we are to ever get beyond blaming the victim
and setting our sights on the systemic change we so desperately
need.

Dr. Randall has one of the most interesting
minds in America; she uses in-depth scholarly research to
examine the historical slave deficit that plagues our world today.
In a time of health care failure for parity, weak attempts on
eliminating racial/ethnic deficits and doing much the same but
expecting better results, Dying While Black offers a fresh
new understanding and offers a insightful journey in time that has a
profound effect. The question becomes “why” is there no outcry and
“why” the lack of concern or alarm? How many black folks will die
before the alarm is head? |

your work in addressing the health care needs of our people!!!! Robert L. Atwell, Psy.D. President Association of Black Psychologists 2005-2007 |
