Migration is now firmly embedded as a leading global policy issue of the twenty-first century. Whilst not a new phenomenon, it has altered significantly in recent decades, with changing demographics, geopolitics, conflict, climate change and patterns of global development shaping new types of migration. Against this evolving backdrop, this Handbook offers an authoritative overview of key debates underpinning migration and health in a contemporary global context.

The first major handbook in this field, this Handbook of Migration and Health provides a comprehensive global overview of issues relating to migration and health. The Handbook is organised into six main sections: theories and models of migration; rights and deservingness; vulnerability and precarity; specific healthcare needs and priorities; healthcare provision; and transnational and diasporic networks. Chapters focus on a wide range of migrant groups including refugees, asylum seekers, trafficked people, international students, healthcare workers, and diasporic communities.

Bringing together the contributions of 58 leading researchers and drawing on case studies and examples from across the globe, the Handbook is intended as a scholarly, yet accessible reference tool for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in the field of migration and health.

Industry Reviews
The movement of people and populations is intrinsic to today's globalised existence, with complex health and wellbeing consequences for people on the move, for host communities and for global health economies. Yet programmatic approaches to addressing the wellbeing of migrants although badly needed remain poorly developed in many parts of the world. Through this book Felicity Thomas successfully crosses disciplinary boundaries to bring together an authoritative, coordinated and comprehensive approach to what is one of the major health issues of our time.' --Jane Anderson, Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, UK

'In this impressive volume, Felicity Thomas has orchestrated a comprehensive and cutting-edge contribution to the understanding of the relationship between migration and health. Drawing together experts from multiple disciplines, examining a wide range of pertinent issues, and developing innovative theoretical insights, the book offers much-needed clarity about a timely and complex global problem. Students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners will all find much to learn in this superb collection.' --Daniel Jordan Smith, Brown University

'With the rapid growth of international migration - whether through war, civil conflict, economic necessity or choice - there is a compelling need to understand the links between migration and health. Drawing on the latest research and powerful new theory, this remarkable book provides the first comprehensive account of these issues. A ''must read'' for researchers, students and activists interested in migration, mobility, population movement and health.' --Peter Aggleton, UNSW Australia
