Charting the experiences of internally or externally migrant communities, the volume examines social transformation through the dynamic relationship between movement, reproduction, and health. The chapters examine how healthcare experiences of migrants are not only embedded in their own unique health worldviews, but also influenced by the history, policy, and politics of the wider state systems. The research among migrant communities an understanding of how ideas of reproduction and “cultures of health” travel, how healing, birth and care practices become a result of movement, and how health-related perceptions and reproductive experiences can define migrant belonging and identity.

“This is a welcome addition to the literature on both migration and reproduction, bringing together in interesting ways the causes and consequences of forcible or agentive movement upon birth practices, plans, and outcomes...Overall, the chapters complement each other... providing a nice mix of ethnographic breadth and detailed analysis.” ˇ Perveez Mody, King’s College, Cambridge
“The phenomena that the volume addresses are complex, multi-faceted, timely and cutting-edge... Not only are these debates at the centre of anthropological inquiry, the strength of this volume lies precisely in its utility for both the humanities and the social sciences, while the writing is clear and appropriate for both advanced undergraduates and postgraduate students.” ˇ Anastasia Christou, Middlesex University
