Resumo
The authors introduce themselves, their research pedigrees and their motivations to write this book helpfully situating the work in a broader context that readers outside the USA might not be familiar with. They warn the reader that the book 'may sometimes be discouraging because of the enormity of the challenges, and the solutions we propose may arouse resistance in some' p. xxiii. They then unflinchingly describe the multitude of racial health disparities that Black people experience in the US context, anchoring this in more recent data from the COVID‐19 pandemic that highlighted higher mortality rates in Black Americans.
