Just medicine : a cure for racial inequality in American health care / by Matthew, Dayna Bowen,author.(CARDINAL)846195;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface to the paperback edition -- Introduction: the new normal -- Bad law makes bad health -- Implicit bias and health disparities -- Physicians' unconscious racism -- From impressions to inequity: connecting the empirical dots -- Implicit bias during the clinical encounter -- Implicit bias beyond the clinical encounter -- From inequity to intervention: what can be done about implicit bias -- A structural solution -- A new normal: the restoration of Title VI -- Conclusion: beyond Title VI."Over 84,000 black and brown lives are needlessly lost each year due to health disparities, the unfair, unjust, and avoidable differences between the quality and quantity of health care provided to Americans who are members of racial and ethnic minorities and care provided to whites. Health disparities have remained stubbornly entrenched in the American health care system--and in Just Medicine, Dayna Bowen Matthew finds that they principally arise from unconscious racial and ethnic biases held by physicians, institutional providers, and their patients. Implicit bias is the single most important determinant of health and health care disparities. Because we have missed this fact, the money we spend on training providers to become culturally competent, expanding wellness education programs and community health centers, and even expanding access to health insurance will have only a modest effect on reducing health disparities. We will continue to utterly fail in the effort to eradicate health disparities unless we enact strong, evidence-based legal remedies that accurately address implicit and unintentional forms of discrimination, to replace the weak, tepid, and largely irrelevant legal remedies currently available. Our continued failure to fashion an effective response that purges the effects of implicit bias from American health care, Matthew argues, is unjust and morally untenable. In this book, she unites medical, neuroscience, psychology, and sociology research on implicit bias and health disparities with her own expertise in civil rights and constitutional law. Just Medicine offers us a new, effective, and innovative plan to regulate implicit biases and eliminate the inequalities they cause, and to save the lives they endanger."--

An army afire : how the US Army confronted its racial crisis in the Vietnam era / by Bailey, Beth L.,1957-Author(DLC)n 87935823 ;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 283-332) and index.A tactic of silence -- Same mud, same blood -- Defining the problem -- Leadership -- Education and training -- Culture and identity -- Off-post discrimination -- Military justice -- Affirmative actions."By the Tet Offensive in early 1968, what had been widely heralded as the best qualified, best-trained army in US history was descending into crisis as the Vietnam War raged without end. Morale was tanking. AWOL rates were rising. And in August of that year, a group of Black soldiers seized control of the infamous Long Binh Jail, burned buildings, and beat a white inmate to death with a shovel. The days of 'same mud, same blood' were over, and by the end of the decade, a new generation of Black GIs had decisively rejected the slights and institutional racism their forefathers had endured. Acclaimed military historian Beth Bailey shows how the Army experienced, defined, and tried to solve racism and racial tension (in its own words, 'the problem of race') in the Vietnam War era. Some individuals were sympathetic to the problem but offered solutions that were more performative than transformational, while others proposed remedies that were antithetical to the army's fundamental principles of discipline, order, hierarchy, and authority. Bailey traces a frustrating yet fascinating arc where the army initially rushed to create solutions without taking the time to fully identify the origins, causes, and proliferation of racial tension. It was a difficult, messy process, but only after Army leaders ceased viewing the issue as a Black issue and accepted their own roles in contributing to the problem did change become possible"--.

Back to school : why everyone deserves a second chance at education / by Rose, Mike(Michael Anthony)(CARDINAL)328906;

Includes bibliographical references.Preface: Second chances -- Introduction: Why going back to school matters -- Adult education and the landscape of opportunity -- Who should go to college? Unpacking the college-for-all versus occupational training debate -- Full cognitive throttle : when education for work ignites the mind -- Who we are : portraits from an urban community college -- Overcoming bad ideas : toward success with remedial education and bridging the academic-vocational divide -- Improving the people's college -- A learning society."It's a statistic that's sure to surprise: close to 45 percent of postsecondary students in the United States today do not enroll in college directly out of high school and many attend part-time. Following a tradition of self-improvement as old as the Republic, the "nontraditional" college student is becoming the norm. Back to School is the first book to look at the schools that serve a growing population of "second-chancers," exploring what higher education-in the fullest sense of the term-can offer our rapidly changing society and why it is so critical to support the institutions that make it possible for millions of Americans to better their lot in life. In the anecdotal style of his bestselling Possible Lives, Rose crafts rich and moving vignettes of people in tough circumstances who find their way; who get a second ... or third ... or even fourth chance; and who, in a surprising number of cases, reinvent themselves as educated, engaged citizens. Rose reminds us that our nation's economic and civic future rests heavily on the health of the institutions that serve millions of everyday people-not simply the top twenty universities in U.S. News and World Report-and paints a vivid picture of the community colleges and adult education programs that give so many a shot at reaching their aspirations"--Provided by publisher.
