Editors’ reputation: Schultz, an up and coming academic star, is already among the best known social scientists working in a public health setting, at the internationally acclaimed School of Public Health at University of Michigan. Mullings has a distinguished appointment with one of the top U.S. anthropology programs..
Breaking Ground: The book employs the concept of “intersectionality”, which enhances the analysis of thorny social issues. The “intersectionality” approach is moving at top speed from the social sciences into public health. Ideal for the student or uninitiated practitioner, the book includes chapters with the needed background on key theories of health disparities so that no one gets left behind.
Major-name contributors: Among them: H. Jack Geiger, Community Medicine and Director of the Program in Health, Medicine, and Society, Sophie Davis School of Medicine City College of New York, Mary Northridge, School of Public Health, Columbia University, and editor, American Journal of Public Health (published by APHA), and Ruth Zambrana, Professor, Women’s Studies, University of Maryland, College Park (coeditor of Health Issues in the Latino Community, Jossey-Bass)
