Summary:

Migration, Health and Inequality highlights recent developments in the areas of migration, human rights and health from a range of countries. Looking at diverse health issues, from HIV to reproductive and maternal health, and a variety of forms of migration, including asylum-seeking, labour migration and trafficking, it offers a range of linkages between migrant agency, transnationalism and diaspora mechanisms and looks at the impact of migrant health on those communities that are left behind.
