Summary:
"Race, Ethnicity, and the COVID-19 Pandemic is an extensive examination of the causes and consequences of the global pandemic on racial and ethnic minorities, offering analysis of the causes of the unique experiences of Black, Indigenous and Latin communities in the US and the world from multiple social sciences perspectives"-- Provided by publisher. "It is obvious that the Covid-19 Pandemic affected every person in the world. What may not be apparent is how systemic inequality rendered the pandemic more damaging and lethal to marginalized communities. During the pandemic, as casualties and severe illness grew, the world could see that disadvantaged communities were disproportionately affected. But the question is not just what happened, but how did we get here? And where do we, as a society, go next? Editors Melvin Thomas, Loren Henderson, and Hayward Derrick Horton lead a diverse community of contributing authors in the quest to answer these questions with Race, Ethnicity, and the Covid-19 Pandemic. Contributing authors provide not only an overview of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic in Black, Latinx, and Native American communities but a multitude of perspectives providing data and analysis about the progression of the pandemic as it ravaged communities across both the United States and the world. Race, Ethnicity, and the Covid-19 Pandemic delves into the quantifiable effects of the interaction of race and the devastation of Covid-19. This exploration includes the experiences of BIPOC communities during the Covid-19 Pandemic, including incarcerated populations and the intersection of gendered and racial experience during the pandemic. Through a sociological lens, this book, above all, sheds light on the modern-day event that hit a global population at precisely the same moment, and in doing so exposed the continued inequality and colonialism today. Offering a call to action for a path forward, scholars from all ethnic backgrounds demonstrate through data and analysis the work we have left to do in healing the communities that need it most following a global pandemic that continues to leave its mark on the entire world." -- Jacket flap.
