African-American Women's Health and Social Issues
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Editor Collins clearly presents well-documented discussions of 12 significant health and social issues that affect the lives of African American women in the US. The authors, all African American women, are well qualified by virtue of formal education and personal experience to provie valuable insight into these issues....Valuable information for professional nurses, physicians, and social workers.”–
“This book provides important information regarding the health and social issues of African-American women. Very few works give such a comprehensive review of the psychological, social and biological factors contributing to health status, provide the conceptual frameworks presented by some authors for understanding the relationships among these factors, or present an historical perspective on the values and events affecting health beliefs and behaviors....[A] useful resource for social workers who are concerned with the health and welfare of African-American women. It is thought provoking and suggests culturally sensitive strategies for working with this population.”–
Book Description
A contributed book written by African-American women--scholars, professionals, and administrators--working with the problems that plague their communities. These women, tired of reading about themselves from nonblack and male perspectives, have confronted the problems of health concerns, substance abuse, homelessness, transracial adoption, and other social and health issues from their unique viewpoints.
