Surviving in the Hour of Darkness: The Health and Wellness of Women of Colour and Indigenous Women: It is clear that religion, cultural background, socio-economic conditions, gender, class and history impact the way women are treated in various health care systems and play a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment. The writings in this book address diverse issues, concerns and experiences of Women of Colour and Indigenous Women. They show how a broad and holistic definition of wellness and a deeper understanding of health care needs can be drawn from the knowledge that women are different and that such differences shape what it means to be health. Surviving in the Hour of Darkness illustrates, through both critical and personal testimonials, the importance of integrating the physical, psychological, and cultural aspects of women's lives. It opens up a dialogue between women about addressing health issues and concerns collectively, thus advancing the health and well-being of Indigenous and Women of Colour communities.
