Publications in this field have, in general, been based
predominantly on the experiences of individual national settings.
Migration, Health and Survival offers a comparative approach,
bringing together leading international scholars to provide
original works from the United States, Canada, Australia, France,
Germany, England and Wales, Norway, Belgium, and Italy. Variations
in physical and mental health and mortality among migrants in
relation to their host populations are examined and analyzed in
detail, with specific discussion of: the immigrant health and
mortality advantage; the healthy migrant hypothesis; migrants as
vulnerable populations; the long-term effects of acculturation on
health; fast epidemiological transition among migrants; and the
intergenerational transmission of mortality risk. The contributions
in this volume enhance the reader's understanding of immigrant
health and mortality conditions across these leading countries of
immigration in the western world. This is an important reference
for researchers of migrant studies as well as teachers of graduate
level courses in population studies and allied disciplines.
Practitioners involved in the provision of health care to
immigrants and refugees will further benefit from the insightful
analyses. Contributors include: O. Anikeeva, P. Bi, N. Biddle, P.
