Summary

Healthcare Disparity Views sheds light on the significant challenges LGBTQ individuals face in accessing equitable healthcare. It reveals systemic biases leading to misdiagnoses and highlights the urgent need for policy reforms. This book uniquely addresses LGBTQ healthcare disparities through an intersectional lens, acknowledging how factors like race and socioeconomic status compound these challenges.

 
The book explores barriers to healthcare access, the impact of misdiagnoses within the LGBTQ community, and necessary policy changes. It emphasizes the historical context, noting how societal stigma and a lack of specialized training among healthcare professionals have contributed to inadequate treatment. For instance, LGBTQ individuals may face discrimination or lack of insurance coverage, hindering their access to essential services.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, the book begins by defining key concepts like sexual orientation and gender identity. It progresses through chapters detailing healthcare access barriers and misdiagnoses, concluding with policy recommendations. The goal is to foster constructive dialogue and inform policy decisions, offering valuable insights for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in promoting healthcare equity.

    Nina Auerbach shows how every age embraces the vampire it needs, and gets the vampire it deserves. Working with a wide range of texts, as well as movies and television, Auerbach locates vampires at the heart of our national experience and uses them as a lens for viewing the last two hundred years of Anglo-American cultural history.“[Auerbach] has seen more Hammer movies than I (or the monsters) have had steaming hot diners, encountered more bloodsuckers than you could shake a stick at, even a pair of crossed sticks, such as might deter a very sophisticated ogre, a hick from the Moldavian boonies....Auerbach has dissected and deconstructed them with the tender ruthlessness of a hungry chef, with cogency and wit.”—Eric Korn, Times Literary Supplement”This seductive work offers profound insights into many of the urgent concerns of our time and forces us to confront the serious meanings that we invest, and seek, in even the shadiest manifestations of the eroticism of death.”—Wendy Doniger, The Nation”A vigorous, witty look at the undead as cultural icons.”—Kirkus Review”In case anyone should think this book is merely a boring lit-crit exposition...Auerbach sets matters straight in her very first paragraph. ’What vampires are in any given generation,’ she writes, ’is a part of what I am and what my times have become. This book is a history of Anglo-American culture through its mutating vampires.’...Her book really takes off.”—Maureen Duffy, New York Times Book Review

    In September 2023, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan boasted that the Middle East "is quieter today than it has been in two decades." One week later, unprecedented violence in Gaza and Israel shattered the status quo and shocked the world.
Hamas's Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge punctured delusions of stability as hundreds of militants burst forth from the Gaza prison camp. In the ensuing carnage and firefights, 1,200 Israelis were killed and hundreds more taken hostage.
Israel's retaliation turned the besieged enclave into a howling wasteland. Nearly 20,000 people were killed in two months, including more than 7,000 children, and over 60 percent of homes were damaged or destroyed. Israel targeted the wounded and infirm, newborns and near-dead, as Gaza's healthcare system—hospitals, clinics, ambulances, medical personnel—came under a systematic attack unprecedented in the annals of modern warfare.
The Hamas massacre and the Israeli extermination campaign which followed together mark a historic turning point in the Israel-Palestine conflict. The reverberations have also shaken politics far beyond, not least in Europe and the United States, where gigantic, round-the-clock protests for Palestinian rights pitted politicians against the public and exposed a growing statist authoritarianism.
In this groundbreaking book—the first published about the 2023 Gaza war—leading Palestinian, Israeli, and international authorities put these momentous developments in context and provide an initial taking-stock.
Why did Hamas attack? What is Israel trying to achieve? Did this catastrophe have to happen? And is there a way forward? The book's expert contributors address these and other questions, which have never been more urgent.
