| Summary |
"This book is a study on migration and storytelling, and will be an important contribution to Medical Anthropology, and to Migration and Gender Studies. Using narrative accounts of Canadian Iranian women's experiences of displacement and resettlement, Dossa interrogates our understanding of social suffering and justice. She demonstrates that systemic inequity and exclusionary practices impact the health and well-being of marginalized people. She challenges conventional thinking that interprets social suffering in terms of personal stake and individual accountability. She also questions the ways in which racialized and gendered inequality in Canada are perceived as cultural difference instead of social oppression. Yet this book is far from a laundry list of social determinants of migration and health; Dossa links Canadian Iranian women's stories to a poetics of migration, showing the remaking of a world with a more informed sense of social justice."--Jacket |
