Ethnicity, Race, and Health in Multicultural Societies pdf
Description

Most of the industrialized world now comprises multi-ethnic societies, with people from widely varying ancestry, cultures, languages, and beliefs. With the globalization of trade, increasing international travel, and migration, the whole world is destined to become multi-ethnic within the next 20 or 30 years. This change poses huge challenges for doctors, nurses, public health practitioners, health-care managers, and policy makers who have to meet legal and policy obligations to deliver health outcomes, and provide health-care of equal quality and effectiveness. To achieve this, they need a solid understanding of the underlying concepts of race and ethnicity, and how these are applied to achieve better health for ethnic-minority populations. They also need to have an awareness of the misuses of these concepts, particularly taking into account the history of racism that permeates many societies to this day.
