A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Nakamura believes that health care in America does not always respond to the needs of ethnic minority Americans. In Health in America: A Multicultural Perspective, Nakamura discusses the health issues and problems faced by African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. This book brings into focus: 1) the disproportionate number of health problems faced by ethnic minority Americans that often go unnoticed; 2) what is known and what is not known about the health problems ethnic minority Americans face; and 3) the need for a re-evaluation and reorganization of the health care system to better serve the needs of all Americans.

The author addresses the plight of the minorities who experience a disproportionate burden of poverty, sickness, and death. These health discrepancies are not only due to unhealthy behaviors but are also a result of complex social, economic, and political factors.
