Reviews
Based on a rich study of Nepali nurses and their migration journey to the UK, this book makes excellent contributions to the study of gendered migration of healthcare professionals in the context of global health inequalities. Suitably sub-titled as `Dreams and Traps of Nepali Nurses', it offers excellent accounts of experiences, struggles and successes of Nepali female nurses in the UK. Adhikari offers a powerful ethnographic critique of dominant stereotypical representation of Nepali women. It will be of particular interest to those studying migration of healthcare professionals and gender and development. Jeevan R. Sharma, University of Edinburgh Nurse migration and mobility continues to grow in magnitude, and the flows become more varied and complex. The implications for policy at national, regional and global level become ever more pronounced. This book adds new insights into the lived experience of the nurses who move, and in particular it improves our understanding of the dynamics that are in play in Asia, a region, which includes many countries with significant nursing shortages, and the UK, a popular destination country for Asian nurses.
