Humans have migrated since the dawn of humanity but the global flow of people has recently reached unprecedented levels. The upsurge in migration has led to renewed interests in the positive and negative health impacts of migration. In this volume of the NAPA Bulletin, practicing and applied anthropologies along with colleagues in public health examine the interactions of health and migrations in diverse settings around the world. Contributions draw on diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives to examine the various ways in which migration impacts on the health and well-being of migrants. The studies include systematic reviews, ethnographic accounts, and quantitative studies of various health impacts, and reveal similarities and differences in the experiences of various categories of migrants, including discussions of migrants from the global South to the North, South-South migrants, and forced migrants. Collectively, the range of pieces complement one another and highlight the intellectual and applied gains that come from exploring a broadly similar topic, migration, as it plays out in diverse contexts.
