2024 - Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons With Racism In Medicine by Uché Blackstock, MD
Summary (publisher): "At once a searing indictment of our healthcare system, a generational family memoir, and a call to action, Legacy is Dr. Uché Blackstock’s odyssey from child to medical student to practicing physician—to finally seizing her own power as a health equity advocate against the backdrop of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.
2023 - Building a Pro-Black World: Moving Beyond DEI Work and Creating Spaces for Black People to Thrive
In Building A Pro-Black World: A Guide To Creating True Equity in The Workplace and In Life, a team of dedicated nonprofit leaders delivers a timely roadmap to building pro-Black nonprofit organizations. Refreshingly moving the conversation beyond stale DEI cliches, editors Cyndi Suarez and the NPQ staff have included works from leading racial justice voices that show you how to create an environment―and society―in which Black people can thrive. You’ll also learn how building such a world will benefit all of society, from the most marginalized to the least.
The book explains how to shift from simply critiquing white supremacist culture and calling out anti-Blackness to actively designing for pro-Blackness.
2019 - Black Mental Health: Patients, Providers, Systems by Ezra E. H. Griffith, Billy E. Jones, and Altha J. Stewart
Novel in its approach and unique in its scope, Black Mental Health: Patients, Providers, and Systems examines the role of African Americans within American psychiatric health care from distinct but interconnected perspectives. The experiences of both Black patients and the Black mental health professionals who serve them are analyzed against the backdrop of the cultural, societal, and professional forces that have shaped their place in this specialized health care arena. With its blend of scholarship, clinical insight, and training analysis, Black Mental Health is compulsory reading both for trainees -- as care delivery to minority groups is of ever greater importance -- and practicing clinicians, who will glean useful information from the chapters on research advances and treatment modalities. Additionally, policy makers, educators, and historians, among others, will gain a better understanding of the challenges and necessity of developing integrated approaches to the care of nondominant groups.
