Racial Equity, COVID-19 and Public Policy: The Triple Pandemic – PDF

Racial Equity, COVID-19, and Public Policy: The Triple Pandemic (PDF) focuses on the health, economic, and justice impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on racial equity. The ebook does not simply document the problems made worse by the pandemic. Still, it provides historical context for issues that rose to the surface in new ways, the existing inequities revealed during COVID-19, and policy responses to those issues. The volume is distinguished in its focus on the implications for racial equity through an examination of both existing public policy and new ideas for change.

The chapters in this volume demonstrate how this period of American history and politics is unique, most notably in the convergence of significant threats to public health, economic livelihood, and access to justice. This “triple pandemic” will be felt in the coming years and will continue to unfold, depending upon the adequacy of the contemporary response. This edited volume is designed to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of issues including policing, housing, business, disaster response, education, immigration, vaccine distribution, reentry of justice-involved individuals, and the responses to public protests—all with a unifying focus on racial inequities and social justice concerns that elevated these issues to broader public attention and political response. This coalescing emphasis on public policy as both a cause and effect to address these issues makes the book a unique contribution to the public policy literature. This ebook responds to audiences seeking a better understanding of the events that occurred, the conditions that set the stage for their eruption into broader public view, and what might be done to prevent social and racial inequities in the future.
