Annotation	As an area of study, the sociology of ethnicity and health has developed more rapidly in Europe than in the US. This issue of Sociology of Health & Illness presents papers which have ethnicity as a theme. The editors' introductory article discusses contexts of ethnicity, health and care. James Nazroo and colleagues' secondary analyses of data-sets for England and the US indicate that comparisons are possible between Black Caribbean and White people, and that there are similarities in the inequalities experienced in both countries. Other articles examine issues of health inequalities by ethnic group with regard to nutrition, depression, end-of-life care, diabetes, long-term health conditions and Disability Living Allowance, and routines observed in general practice.
