Ethnicity and Race in a Changing World: A Review JournalDr Saima Latif, a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester has contributed a Commentpiece, Health Inequalities for Black and Minority Ethnic Groups in the UK: What Has Been Done? DrLatif summarises the evidence of Health Inequalities produced over the past ten years by a series ofhigh profile reports and then analyses the range of Health Inequalities Policies that grew out of thesereports.She concludes that:the most important activity in achieving any of … [these objectives] is to ensure robust datacollection of ethnic minority statistics. Unfortunately, the lack of ethnic monitoring being statutorywithin primary or secondary care represents a serious flaw in developing health care services toaddress health disparities among BME groups.Monica White Ndounou, Assistant Professor at Tufts University, has contributed a Comment piece inthe form of an extended review of Debra Walker King’s African Americans and the Culture of Pain. Thisbook is an ‘interdisciplinary study of the distinct ways the black body serves as a rhetorical device andpolitical strategy in literature, film and television from 1930 to 2005.’Dr Ndounou provides a clear and perceptive summary of King’s argument and her identification ofthe complexity of Black experience in the context of American identity and citizenship rights throughdiscussion of the ways Blackpain affects the daily lived experiences of Black people in the UnitedStates. Dr Ndounou also discusses King’s complex discussion of African American experiences byidentifying gendered distinctions in representations of Black bodies in pain by African Americanauthors. She identifies the importance of a number of concepts developed by King in inspiring andshaping continuous interdisciplinary study into cultural pain studies and the development of counterhegemonictheories of transference of power – ‘King’s approach allows readers to assess the roleof patriarchy in the representations of blackpain, which encourages active reading.’ She concludesthat ‘African Americans and the Culture of Pain is a call to action for scholars, artists, teachers andaudiences.’We welcome contributions ranging from Book Review Essays and Comment pieces to Essays, fromactivists, researchers, scholars, faculty in higher and further education institutions, and graduatestudents.I would like to thank all of our peer reviewers for their very professional and thorough reviewsand all of our contributors for their creativity and hard work and discipline in responding to therecommendations of the reviewers.
