Gender, Race, Class, and Health examines relationships between economic structures, race, culture, and gender, and their combined influence on health. The authors systematically apply social and behavioral science to inspect how these dimensions intersect to influence health and health care in the United States. This examination brings into sharp focus the potential for influencing policy to improve health through a more complete understanding of the structural nature of race, gender, and class disparities in health. As useful as it is readable, this book is ideal for students and professionals in public health, sociology, anthropology, and women's studies.

approaches to health research will best allow us to understand and
formulate applied solutions to address health disparities."

qualitative social science to debates on disparities in health."
(New England Journal of Medicine, January 18, 2007)
"More and more students in public health, sociology, and
anthropology are studying these intersections but this is arguably
the first book to truly do justice to the topic."
--Meredith Minkler, professor of Health and Social Behavior,
University of California, Berkley, and coeditor, Community

intersectionality and health."

Studies, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina
"At last, a groundbreaking book highlighting the health
consequences of the intersections of race, gender, and social
