Handbook of Migration and Health

This significantly revised second edition examines how migration shapes health and wellbeing in today’s complex and unequal world. Leading experts explore migration as a process shaped by intersecting factors, including changing labour markets, climate change-related disasters and an increasingly volatile economic and geopolitical landscape.Chapters provide detailed case studies and examples, with expert authors from fields including public health, anthropology, economics, education, geography and law. The Handbook of Migration and Health provides new perspectives on the health and wellbeing of children and young migrants, and climate and environmental change. Highlighting topics such as disability, mental health and intergenerational trauma, this updated second edition identifies some of the most salient concepts and themes underpinning contemporary understandings of migration, health and wellbeing.Students and scholars of sociology, anthropology, politics and global health will benefit from the Handbook’s insights into the field of migration and healthcare. Its exploration of the legal and political dimensions of migration will also be valuable for social care practitioners, immigration policymakers and advocacy groups.
