Description for Politics and Poetics of Migration
Paperback.
This book uses gendered stories of displacement and re-settlement to interrogate our understanding of social suffering and justice. Parin Dossa, an anthropologist, argues that systemic inequity and exclusionary practices impact the health and well-being of marginalized people.

Reviews for Politics and Poetics of Migration
Dr. Dossa combines excellence in scholarship and sensitivity in this elegantly written book. She draws upon the voices of women to provide powerful insights into the texture of social suffering. This should be required reading for students in the health and social sciences."" - Dr. Joan Anderson, Professor of Nursing and Elizabeth Kenny McCann Professor, University of British Columbia
