Synopsis "Teetering on the Edge: How Society Impacts on Black Women's Mental Health 2Nd Edition (in English)"
There are several debates in reference to, the definitions of mental health and its contributory factors on black people's life. There is also conflicting views by several authors and their failure to recognised cultural differences and the need for inclusion of black people's experiences in research, while a majority of people from different background, ethnicity, and gender differentiation appears to be making more use of mental health provisions. These concerns are examined through an approach that brought to the fore experiences of black women that have gone unnoticed; it's like a nation without a history. Yet there are factors that are of great significance in understanding major obstacles that are known to be an historical factor in the life and in understanding of black women's experiences. The life history of black women in Britain, the paucity of literature on black related issues, and the negative impact of racism, and social Darwinism of marginalism on black women's life comes with other social issues. The fact that black women still occupy denigrated roles and responsibility in a country where there has been much debates on equality of opportunities. Yet, equal access to training, housing and many other factors comes at a cost on black people's every day experience. Women are especially at risks from poor mental health compounded by other multi-layered factors. Such is inclusive of the lack of prestigious occupation associated with unequal access toward promotion. Certainly, these multifaceted realities can affect their performance in compromised to their health and ability to withstand negative influences. This title 'Teetering on the Edge' attempts to improve upon the lack of resources on the experiences and historical account of black women of Caribbean descent in Britain and the direct results of their insurmountable experiences inclusive of the impact of injustices on related issues of health. The uniqueness of this book seeks to make known these issues and to address the paucity of black women life experience from an historical perspective and the challenges of negatives that impacted their life and health in heightening public awareness of these issues.
