Exploring the Experiences of Marginalized Communities During the Covid Pandemic

How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect the most vulnerable communities, and what are the lasting implications for social justice?

In Exploring the Experiences of Marginalized Communities During the Covid Pandemic, Samson Chama examines the overlooked impacts of COVID-19 on marginalized individuals. While much has been written about the pandemic, this book fills a critical gap by focusing on how those with limited access to healthcare and systemic inequities were uniquely affected. Using narrative case studies, Chama examines the realities faced by these communities, highlighting the widening public health disparities and the urgent need for inclusive, equitable healthcare. The book also emphasizes the importance of optimal health as a fundamental human right, in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Ideal for courses in social work, psychology, sociology, and criminal justice, this book is essential reading for public health researchers, academicians, nursing students, healthcare instructors, and community leaders dedicated to advancing social justice.
