Gender and Health: An International Perspective responds to a growing interest in the relationship between gender, health care organization and health policy. In examining this relationship, Sargent and Brettell demonstrate how biology, medicine, health and ethical dilemmas are informed by culture and shaped by social, political and economic forces.

The revised fourth edition of Migration Theory continues to offer a one-stop synthesis of contemporary thought on migration. 
Editors Caroline B. Brettell and James F. Hollifield remain committed to include coverage that is comparative and global in scope while enhancing similarities and differences between one academic field and the next. All chapters have been revised to highlight cutting-edge issues in the field of migration studies today. The fourth edition welcomes two new authors, Professors Marie Price and François Héran, to offer a fresh approach with their chapters on geography and demography, respectively.

Review "This latest edition of one of the essential texts in migration studies offers updated and expanded discussions of the state of the literature in the field’s constituent disciplines. The introductory and concluding chapters are testament to the rapid evolution of migration studies and take seriously the challenge posed by critical migration studies to the field’s mainstream. This is a must-read and will be an indispensable reference book for both new and established scholars of migration."Antje Ellermann, Professor, The University of British Columbia"This volume is a heroic and unique attempt to bridge disciplinary and conceptual boundaries in migration studies. Although different approaches and theories enrich the field, we need more agreement on the nature of the phenomenon we are trying to understand. ‘Talking across disciplines’ makes a persuasive case for structured comparisons, in time, space and scale and as such is a crucial intervention that helps us to accumulate knowledge in a more systematic, efficient and encompassing way."Leo Lucassen, Director of the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, Professor in Global Labour and Migration History, Leiden University"Understanding migration requires insight into movement across geographies, economic drivers and impacts, change over time, social and cultural integration, as well as law and states’ power to enforce or open borders. Brettell and Hollifield bring together field experts and cogent syntheses to celebrate interdisciplinarity, highlighting how key questions, methods, and theoretical tool-kits can be complementary or stand apart. They seek to end such distances, and do a truly admirable job. Anyone interested in migration, whether a new or seasoned scholar, will learn from this impressive book."Irene Bloemraad, Faculty Director, University of California Berkeley"Now in its 4th edition, Migration Theory: Talking Across Disciplines has established itself has the indispensable guide to understanding how various disciplines approach the movement of people. While achieving a seamless unified theory across history, anthropology, sociology, demography, economics, political science, geography, and legal studies might be asking too much, especially given the significant range of approaches even within these disciplines, the goal is a laudable one. Brettell and Hollified provide scholars at all levels well-crafted summaries of scholarship in these various disciplines. In a field of study as broad as migration, this is a valuable resource when contemplating the "cutting edge" of current research, which will influence future research. Migration Theory is essential for scholars seeking to find their comparative advantage in the study of migration."Leo Chavez, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Irvine About the Author Caroline B.

Gender and Migration (Immigration and Society)

Gender roles, relations, and ideologies are major aspects of migration. This timely book argues that understanding gender relations is vital to a full and more nuanced explanation of both the causes and the consequences of migration, in the past and at present. Through an exploration of gendered labor markets, laws and policies, and the transnational model of migration, Caroline Brettell tackles a variety of issues such as how gender shapes the roles that men and women play in the construction of immigrant family and community life, debates concerning transnational motherhood, and how gender structures the immigrant experience for men and women more broadly. This book will appeal to students and scholars of immigration, race and ethnicity, and gender studies and offers a definitive guide to the key conceptual issues surrounding gender and migration.
