Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the health, economic, and justice impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on racial equity. It does not simply document the problems made worse by the pandemic, but it provides historical context for issues that rose to the surface in new ways, the existing inequities revealed during COVID-19, and policy responses to those issues.

Rezensionen

"A thought provoking gem that stimulates and invigorates debate about the triple pandemic. In addition, this book helps other states by giving them a road map to develop a research and policy agendas to reduce instances of injustices." - George E. Higgins, University of Louisville, USA

"This is a compelling read, as we start learning lessons from managing the COVID crisis. It is a great collection of essays on various dimensions of keeping a focus on racial equity across a range of issues from evictions to higher education. Regrettably, COVID is unlikely to be our last big shock to a fragile social infrastructure. This may prove a useful handbook for that next shock." - William E. Spriggs, American Federation of Labor--Congress of Industrial Organizations, USA
