This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of UK African Diaspora health seekers and
their sustained health inequalities in the health market. It translates their often-silenced
voices into a decolonial praxis where their experiences illuminate the hidden factors that
have blighted change in health outcomes for these communities. The book excavates and breaks
down the nature of these hidden factors as historical patterns of behaviour that comprise
whiteness over the longue durée. Using the lenses of decolonial and critical race studies the
book places whiteness within an ethical and moral framework in order to examine the hidden
factors behind health inequalities. The book also looks at intersectionality and discusses
whether it is actually fit for purpose as an analytical framework for discussing the health
seeking behaviours of both Black men and Black women in relation to their unequal access to the
health market.
