Invisible visits : black middle-class women in the American healthcare system / Tina K. Sacks.

• Although the United States spends almost one-fifth of all its resources on funding healthcare, the American system is dogged by persistent inequities in the treatment of racial and ethnic minorities and women. 'Invisible Visits' analyzes how Black women navigate the complexities of dealing with doctors in this environment. It challenges the idea that race and gender discrimination, particularly in healthcare settings, is a thing of the past. In telling the stories of Black women who are middle class, the author also questions the persistent myth that discrimination only affects racial minorities who are poor.
