Racial Equity, COVID-19, and Public Policy: The Triple Pandemic focuses on the
health, economic, and justice impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on racial
equity. The book does not simply document the problems made worse by the
pandemic, but it provides historical context for issues that rose to the surface
in new ways, the existing inequities revealed during COVID-19, as well as
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 the ways in which this period of
American history and politics is unique, most notably in the convergence of major
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 book responds
to audiences seeking a better understanding of the events that occurred, the
conditions that set the stage for their eruption into wider public view, and what
might be done to prevent social and racial inequities in the future.
