Recenzje

"It is an expedient read for both academic and social workspaces ... . The broad range of topics and cross-continental perspectives, together with a special focus on diversity and intersectionality, makes this anthology especially recommendable to researchers who are looking for an overview of recent developments in global migration and refugee lifeworlds. Finally, this collection ... offers interesting and innovative concepts to draw from for decision makers as well as practitioners working in public health or education."

Blurb

European public discourse often frames (forced) migration solely as a security issue and ignores the implications of societal diversity for health, quality-of-life and well-being, in both Africa and Europe. The present volume offers an interdisciplinary and international look at the relationship between refugees, diversity, and health, including health care policies, socio-political framework conditions, environmental factors, the situation in refugee camps, quality-of-life approaches and economical perspectives.
