The recent growth in the conceptual and methodological sophistication in studying national and international social, political and economic divisions and their implications for health and health care provision to minority ethnic groups is reflected in this collection. The chapters demonstrate the range of work addressing ethnicity and reveal the lessons that research with minorities have for the sociology of health and illness as a whole. A lively introduction by the editors lays out the social and political context in which current research should be understood. Topics addressed include international comparisons between Caribbean migrants to the US and UK, the provision of interpreters in general practice and the variations in uptake of disability living allowance across ethnic groups.
