In the United States, the material advantages afforded by whiteness lead to lower rates of infections and deaths from COVID-19 when compared to the rates among Black, Latino, and Native American populations. Most experts point to differences in population density, underlying health conditions, and proportions of essential workers as the primary determinants in the levels of COVID-19 deaths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe national response to the pandemic has laid bare the fundamentals of a racialized social structure. Assembled by a prestigious group of sociologists, this volume examines how, particularly during the first year of COVID-19, the socioeconomic impact of the pandemic led to different and poorer outcomes for Black, Latino, and Native American populations. While colour-blindness shaped national discussions on essential workers, charity, and differential mortality, minorities were overwhelmingly affected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this collection provide a mix of critical examination of the progress and direction of our COVID-19 response, personal accounts of the stark difference in care and outcomes for minorities throughout the United States, and offer recommendations to create a foundation for future response and research during the critical early days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432063451372,"sku":"9781947602878","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781947602878.jpg?v=1774556901"},{"product_id":"diversity-in-organizations-by-cedric-herring-9780415742504","title":"Diversity in Organizations","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiversity in Organizations\u003c\/em\u003e argues that ensuring a diverse workforce composition has tangible benefits for organizations.
