Against the Odds: Blacks in the Profession of Medicine in the United States
by Wilbur H. Watson
On This Page
Description
"Racial separatism, gender discrimination, and white dominance have historically thwarted black Americans' occupational aspirations. Access to medical education has also been limited, and mobility within the profession, leading to unequal access to health care. There have, however, been notable triumphs. In Against the Odds, Wilbur Watson describes successful efforts by determined individuals and small groups of black Americans, since the early nineteenth century, to establish a strong black show more presence in the medical profession. Changes in medical education and hospital management, desegregation of the medical establishment, and the contemporary challenges of managed-care organizations all attest to their achievements." "This account will interest those in the fields of African-American studies, medicine, and sociology."--Jacket. show lessTags
