As he argues, the best way to deal with the more than 20 million new immigrants since 1965 is to accept, recognize, and eagerly explore the differences among the American people. Fernandez seeks to forge a positive national consensus based on two building blocks. First, the nation's many ethnic groups can be a powerful source of unprecedented economic, artistic, and scientific creativity. Secondly, the nation's many ethnic groups offer a way to erase the black/white dichotomy which, masks the shared injustices of millions of European, Asian, African, Native, and Latino Americans. This is a provocative analysis of how we arrived at our current ethnic and racial dilemmas and what can be done to move beyond them. Scholars and students of American immigration and social policy as well as concerned citizens will find the book equally rewarding. 606 $aMinorities$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations$xForecasting 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xForecasting 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xForecasting 615 0$aMinorities$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.8/00973 700 $aFernandez$b Ronald$01794735 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965952103321 996 $aAmerica's banquet of cultures$94335703 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03000nam 22005775 450 001 9910805578403321 005 20251009084933.0 010 $a9783031488726 010 $a3031488725 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-48872-6 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31073819 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31073819 035 $a(CKB)29978043800041 035 $a(OCoLC)1419063606 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-48872-6 035 $a(EXLCZ)9929978043800041 100 $a20240118d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSantal Women and the Health Care Regime $ePandemic, Predicament and Access /$fby Faraha Nawaz, AN Bushra 205 $a1st ed. 2023. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2023. 215 $a1 online resource (119 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Nawaz, Faraha Santal Women and the Health Care Regime Cham : Palgrave Macmillan,c2024 9783031488719 327 $a 1.

The authors consider different dimensions of accessibility such as- physical access, financial access, health behaviour and different socio-cultural factors of access, and attempts to explore the degree of access to healthcare of rural ethnic women from Santal tribe in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. This exploration is likely to be helpful for healthcare providing organizations, international donor agencies, policy makers, and future researchers of gender studies, social policy, development studies among other fields.
