Drawing from an activist research project spanning Loja, Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas, New York, New Jersey, and Barcelona, this book offers a feminist intersectional analysis of the impact of migration on health and well-being. It assesses how social inequalities and migration and health policies, in Ecuador and destination countries, shape the experiences of migrants. The author also explores how individual and collective action challenges health, geopolitical, gender, sexual, ethnoracial, and economic disparities, and empowers communities. This is a thorough analysis of interpersonal, institutional, and structural mechanisms of marginalization and resistance. It will inform policy and research for better responses to migration' s negative effects on health, and progress towards greater equality and social justice.
"A rare and unique book. Deeply important read for human rights and immigration activists, and for health providers working with migrants and their families. " Mary Romero, Arizona State University "A very relevant interdisciplinary study of current migrations, successfully integrating health and mental health perspectives. " Joseba Achotegui, University of Barcelona and Hospital Sant Pere Claver of Barcelona
