It sets out the concepts in detail, dissecting the pathways by which racism leads to health outcomes in each specialty and, importantly, describes what we should do, both individually and at a system level. Anti-racist medicine is essential reading for all health professionals, not only for those interested in the topic." - Professor Delan Devakumar, Lead of The Lancet Series on racism, xenophobia, discrimination and health "This book provides an in-depth, evidence-based and balanced overview of the current landscape and provides helpful overviews of the three key areas of anti-racist medicine: the theoretical foundations/key concepts; the implications of racism on clinical care and health outcomes and finally a synthesis of approaches that could be adopted in the future to start to address the current health inequities." - Dr Mark Lillicrap, Professor of Medical Education Practice and Honorary Consultant Rheumatologist, University of Cambridge.
