Indigo Curated Writer Talk w/ Tina Sacks
A critical analysis of how Black women navigate the complexities of a medical institution that has not been designed to meet their needs.

INVISIBLE VISITS
Black Middle-Class Women in the American Healthcare System
by Tina K. Sacks

Invisible Visits presents a critical and nuanced analysis of how middle-class Black women navigate the complexities of dealing with a medical institution that has not been designed to meet their needs. Critically, the book challenges the widely accept myth that structural discrimination only affects poor racial minorities. In so doing, the book expands our collective understanding of how Black middle-class women are treated when they go to the doctor, why they continue to face profound challenges securing proper medical care, and what lengths they must go to to fight for effective treatment.
