Book Synopsis

Charting the fascinating history of physician immigration to Canada, and the ethical debates it provoked, Foreign Practices places the Canadian experience within a wider context of global migration after the Second World War.



Trade Review

“One of the many strengths of this study is the sustained effort to weave together the lived experiences of immigrant doctors and the policy environment in which they worked. The contrast between the speedy acceptance and apparent acculturation of the early migrants is striking. As we prepare for a postpandemic world, more than ever, the insights provided by studies of this nature make clear that health policies and their implementation rarely play out the way that their advocates intended. Using historical analysis provides the nuance and complexity that are needed to ensure that twenty-first-century policymakers have the background knowledge to “build back better.”” Social History / Histoire Sociale
