Drawing from an activist research project spanning Loja, Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas, New York, New Jersey and Barcelona, this book offers a feminist intersectional analysis of the impact of migration on health and wellbeing. It assesses how social inequalities and migration and health policies in Ecuador and destination countries shape the experiences of migrants. The author also explores how individual and collective action challenge health, geopolitical, gender, sexual, ethnoracial and economic disparities and empower communities. This is a thorough analysis of interpersonal, institutional and structural mechanisms of marginalisation and resistance. It will inform policy and research for better responses to migration's negative effects on health, and progress towards greater equality and social justice.
