description: Contributors to this special issue study race, racism, and health inequities, as well as the politics and policy of racism and health. They argue that racism is a fundamentally political phenomenon with profound implications for health, yet substantive engagement with the health implications of racism is often divorced from larger questions about politics and policy. At the same time, scholarship centered on politics and policy is often disconnected from the realities of structural racism in the realm of health.
