Description
There is a dearth in the literature that discusses the prioritization of Black men’s health within the context of how they are viewed by societal approaches to engage them in research, and health programming aimed at increasing their participation in health services to decrease their morbidity and mortality rates. Much of the extant literature is over 10 years old and doesn't account for social determinants of health, perceptions of health status, as well as social justice implications that can affect the health outcomes of this historically oppressed population including structural and systemic racism as well as police brutality and gun violence.
The book's 13 chapters represent a diversity of thought and perspectives of experts reflective of various disciplines and are organized in four sections:
- Part I - Racial Disparities and Black Men
- Part II - Black Masculinity
- Part III - Black Men in Research
- Part IV - Social Justice Implications for Black Men's Health
