Smith.A four-hour documentary series arguing that "health and longevity are correlated with socioeconomic status, people of color face an additional health burden, and our health and well-being are tied to policies that promote economic and social justice. Each of the half-hour program segments, set in different racial/ethnic communities, provides a deeper exploration of the ways in which social conditions affect population health and how some communities are extending their lives be improving them" -- Container insert.Bad sugar: "O'odham Indians, living on reservations in southern Arizona, have perhaps the highest rate of Type 2 diabetes in the world. Some researchers see this as the literal 'embodiment' of decades of poverty, oppression, and loss. A new approach suggests that communities may regain control over their health if they can regain control over their futures" -- Container insert.Becoming American: "Recent Mexican immigrants tend to be healthier than the average American. But those health advantages erode the longer they've been here. What causes health to worsen as immigrants become American? What can we all learn about improved well-being from new immigrant communities?" -- Container insert.Collateral damage: "In the Marshall Islands, local populations have been displaced from their traditional way of life by the American military presence and globalization. Now they must contend with the worst of the 'developing' and industrialized worlds: infectious diseases such as tuberculosis due to crowded living conditions, and extreme poverty and chronic disease, stemming in part from the stress of dislocation and loss" -- Container insert.In sickness and in wealth: "What connections exist between healthy bodies, healthy bank accounts and skin color? Follow four individuals from different walks of life to see how their position in society, shaped by social policies and public priorities, affects their health" -- Container insert.Not just a paycheck: "Residents of Western Michigan struggle against depression, domestic violence and higher rates of heart disease and diabetes after the largest refrigerator factory in the country shuts down. Ironically, the plant is owned by a company in Sweden, where mass layoffs, far from devastating lives, are relatively benign because of government policies that protect and retrain workers" -- Container insert.Place matters: "Increasingly, recent Southeast Asian immigrants, along with Latinos, are moving into long-neglected African American urban neighborhoods, and now their health is being eroded as a result. What policies and investment decisions create living environments that harm, or enhance, the health of residents? What actions can make a difference?" -- Container insert.When the bough breaks: "African American infant mortality rates remain twice as high as for white Americans. African American mothers with college degrees or higher face the same risk of having low birth-weight babies as white women who haven't finished high school. How might the chronic stress of racism over the life course become embedded in our bodies and increase risks?" -- Container insert.DVD.

Building a pro-black world : moving beyond DE&I work and creating spaces for black people to thrive / by Suarez, Cyndi,editor.(CARDINAL)889740;

Includes bibliographical references and index."In recent years, following the popularity of books like Ijeoma Oluo's So You Want to Talk About Race? and Ibram X. Kendi's How to Be an Antiracist, there has been a surfeit of books published on the politics of race and racial injustice; within the field of nonprofit organization and management, these books have tended to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as a proxy for antiracism. NPQ's focus on "pro-Black" is a fresh perspective that pushes the field into thinking beyond corrective DEI measures. The proposed book names something that Black liberation movements in the U.S. have advanced--and continue to advance--in public discourse, but which people have not been talking about in the nonprofit sector: The urgent need to build a world in which Black people can thrive. An explicitly "pro-Black" framing focuses on designing nonprofit organizations, programs, services, philanthropy, and more for people who are most marginalized by systems of power. It advances the understanding that designing a better world for those who are marginalized will create a better world for everyone. NPQ has argued that this shift--"from critiquing white supremacist culture and calling out anti-Blackness to designing for pro-Blackness"--is already happening in the field (Suarez 2022). The reader captures this shift in nonprofit theory and practice; it will also include articles that present new possibilities for action."--Enacting pro-Black leadership : a better world is possible.
