Migration and Health: Critical Perspectives offers a radical
rethinking of the field by unsettling conventional ideas of
mobility and borders to highlight the ways in which they produce
health inequalities. Covering a wide range of topics, the text
provides insight through a critical lens, and proposes areas for
intervention along with an added emphasis on the need for future
research to address the health inequities that affect migrants. It
illustrates how a critical perspective can deepen our understanding
of the relationship between migration and health, which remains a
defining global issue of our century. The text employs a critical
approach to examine the structural conditions of inequality and
larger historical and political processes, recognizing that
exclusionary bordering practices increasingly occur away from
physical points of entry. It posits the concept of migration as
complex, tangled and multi-directional and underscores how migrant
vulnerability can shape the lives of people in wider communities.
Furthermore, it acknowledges diverse and intersectional
standpoints, as well as shifting spatial and temporal influences.
Chapters include coverage of health in transit; healthcare access
and utilization; clinical encounters; communicable disease; labor
and occupational health; gender and sexuality; immigration
enforcement, detention, deportation; and the effects of forced
displacement on refugee and asylum-seeker health. The text is
useful for students and scholars of migration or health disparities
seeking to understand how the two issues can be approached in a
more holistic and critical way. It is further aimed at
practitioners and policymakers who are interested in gaining
familiarity with the structural conditions of inequality along with
the larger historical and political processes that influence
contemporary migration patterns.
