Glenda M. Flores: The Weight of the White Coat, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"The Weight of the White Coat sheds new light on the complexity of Latina / o doctors' experiences of professional success and discrimination in medicine. It is one of the most thorough investigations of all the intersections that shape the journey of Latinas and Latinos into medical school and the profession. Its scope is remarkable."--Monisha Das Gupta, author of All of Us or None: Migrant Organizing in an Era of Deportation and Dispossession

"This compelling book offers a detailed analysis of the factors influencing the paths and experiences of Latina / o doctors. Flores offers a crucial corrective to perceptions of Latina / o homogeneity through her consideration of differing positionalities by class, gender, color, and nationality. A complex and engaging read."--Gilda L. Ochoa, author of Academic Profiling: Latinos, Asian Americans, and the Achievement Gap
