Collision of Racism, NHS and Covid-19: A Historical Perspective - Paperback
Description
by Madhun Foolchand (Author)
Conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic, this compelling book explores how the virus exposed long-standing racial and social inequalities in Britain. What began as a record of government briefings evolved into a powerful socio-historical examination of racism, public health, and the state of the NHS.
The author traces inequality from the 16th century to the present day - from Queen Elizabeth I's call to deport "blackmoores" to the experiences of BAME soldiers, the Windrush generation, and today's NHS workforce. Drawing on government data and public health reports, the book reveals how COVID-19 disproportionately affected Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic communities, older men, and those living in deprived areas.
Through a critical analysis of policy failures, institutional racism, and the hostile environment, the author highlights how the pandemic collided with centuries-old prejudices - yet also finds hope in resilience, compassion, and the fight for justice.
A vital read for anyone interested in race, inequality, and the future of public health in Britain.
