Migrants, Minorities and Healthexplores the relations between medicine and minorities in the twentieth century. The contributors present both historical and contemporary studies of migrant and minority groups from societies around the world in order to examine how health issues have interacted with ideas of ethnicity and race. The essays explore the historical origins and contemporary power of stereotypical views--of immigrants as importers of disease, for instance, or of minorities as sources of infection in the host society. They also show how ideas of ethnicity and race have shaped, and have in turn been influenced by, the construction of medical ideas.
