-
In Sickness and Wealth looks at migration from the unusual perspective of the migrant-origin community rather than the migrant abroad.
-
This book is a powerful text that stands alone on its own merits, but also fits well with two other works recently published by IUP: Deirdre McKay’s An Archipelago of Care and Faranak Miraftab’s Global Heartland. All three of these books explore the subject of migration.
-
This clearly written ethnography is very timely in its focus on the experience of women and migrants.
