The Social Medicine Reader, Second Edition, Vol. Two: Social and Cultural Contributions to Health, Difference, and Inequality

"In this balanced collection of readings, the perennially contested categories of gender and race, and their implications for understanding the social origins of health inequalities are reexamined in light of existing and anticipated advances in genomics research.
