Some of the core values central to nursing are advocacy, social justice, and optimization of health for clients, families, and populations. What can we do to combat racism and eliminate racial health inequities as nurses and nursing students? By learning how to assess patients of colour effectively, as well as taking action to end racial health inequities, we are actively engaging in cultural safety and anti-racism. This textbook will examine multiple racial health inequities and their causes among the social determinants of health. It will also address how health care providers can consider these in their daily interactions with clients they meet in the community and hospital. As this textbook will show, people in marginalized groups often have health inequities compared to people in groups with power.

‘Decolonization and Justice: An Introductory Overview’ emerged from the undergraduate students’ final assignment in JS-419 on Advanced Seminar in Criminal Justice at the University of Regina’s Department of Justice Studies, Canada. This book focused on decolonization of multiple justice-related areas, such as policing, the court system, prison, restorative justice, and the studies of law and criminology. This is quite likely one of the few student-led book projects in Canada covering the range of decolonization topics. Ten student authors explored the concept of decolonization in law, policing, prison, court, mental health, transitional justice and restorative justice. We are grateful to receive funding support from the University of Regina’s OER Publishing Program Small Project Grant, which enabled us to hire a professional copy editor for the book.
