'It is a valuable resource for those seeking to refine their research questions and as a means to draw parallels across work on migration and health. While focused on international migration, the questions and approaches outlined are relevant to research on internal migration, and there is significant space to better articulate the connections between internal migration, international migration, and health.' - Frances Darlington-Pollock, Geographical Research 'Bruce Newbold and Kathi Wilson are both health geographers with a strong legacy; this edited volume on which they have partnered is no exception. As they state in their opening chapter, the health of an immigrant is shaped by the immigration journey and the factors precipitating it (forced versus voluntary; economic, social, cultural, environmental push and pull factors...). What Newbold and Wilson have done with this edited volume is bring the immigrant health literature into the 21st Century by bringing heretofore invisible issues to the forefront: gender; climate change; inequalities in the global south. Their section on future research directions takes us even further through suggestions for alternative theoretical and epistemological approaches to the growing issues of immigration and immigrant health.' --Susan J Elliot, University of Waterloo, Canada 'Tapping into the expertise from scholars in geography, international affairs, nursing, psychiatry, public health, social service and social work, A Research Agenda for Migration and Health fills a gap in migration studies by foregrounding climate change, gender/race and health, health status, health care, nutrition and their impacts.' --Wei Li, Arizona State University, US
