1. In Sickness and Wealth looks at migration from the unusual perspective of the migrant-origin community rather than the migrant abroad. 2. This book is a powerful text that stands alone on its own merits, but also fits well with two other works recently published by IUP: Deirdre McKay's An Archipelago of Care and Faranak Miraftab's Global Heartland. All three of these books explore the subject of migration. 3. This clearly written ethnography is very timely in its focus on the experience of women and migrants.
