Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Research, first-person narratives, and historical sources explain how racial bias creates significant public health problems in America.
MoreLong description:
Racial disparities in health and life expectancy are public health problems that have existed since before the US became a country and affect all American's lives. On average, Black Americans have poorer overall health than White Americans and receive lower quality healthcare. This volume presents research from a broad range of academic disciplines, personal narratives, and historical sources to explain the origins of anti-Black racism and describe specific ways in which it threatens both Black Americans' health and the quality of their medical care. Using their own research and public policy expertise, the authors analyze the critical roles of individual and systemic racial bias in these racial health disparities and their consequence for all Americans. They also identify current viable interventions that can reduce current racial health disparities. Unequal Health is invaluable to professionals who study health disparities and lay people who are concerned about them.
'This book provides a timely and comprehensive analysis of America's most pressing societal dilemma - persistent, seemingly intractable racial health disparities. It is solution-focused and combines an in-depth discussion of the social determinants of health with a clear depiction of the inequities in the healthcare system. I highly recommend this book.' Gail C. Christopher, National Collaborative for Health Equity, USA
