Table of ContentsReviewsBioethics has not always engaged directly the serious ethical problems regarding health and health care disparities along racialized and gender lines. Dr. Ray tackles these issues head on. She does so in a manner that is accessible and straightforward while raising what is ethically and professionally at stake. I recommend that all of us working in this area read this book. * Patrick T. Smith * Black Health is a monumental contribution to bioethics and contemporary race theory that illuminates the role health disparities have in the maintenance of anti-Black racism. Carefully attending to the consequences of illness and loss, Black Health is a clarion call urging bioethicists and clinicians to attend to the sickness created by racism and the indifference shown towards Black life by the medical community at large. * Tommy J. Curry * Dr. Ray brilliantly amplifies the lived experiences of Black individuals and patients to call attention to long-standing health and health care inequities driven by structural and systemic forces. This timely and humanizing book clearly demonstrates why current and future health care professionals should care about social and structural determinants of health. * Faith E. Fletcher * Black Health is a call for bioethics to concern itself with histories and futures alike. Ray strikes a balance between a realistic telling of history -a history that's laden with blatant racism, at that-and a call for hope. If the field reckons with the widespread anti-Blackness that pervades it, a better bioethics is possible. * Bioethics Today * Bioethics has not always engaged directly the serious ethical problems regarding health and health care disparities along racialized and gender lines.
