There has been a global increase in incidence of tuberculosis (TB) over the last decade and rates of TB show wide disparities between migrants and host populations. New Zealand has followed this global trend where foreign-born people have a TB rate 10 times that of New Zealand-born.

There has been a global increase in incidence of
tuberculosis (TB) over the last decade and rates of
TB show wide disparities between migrants and host
populations. New Zealand has followed this
global trend where foreign-born people have a TB
rate 10 times that of New Zealand-born. This book is
an ethnographic study of Indian, Korean and Chinese
migrants who live in New Zealand and uses TB as a
lens to understand how their experiences of
migration and settlement impact on their health. The
study demonstrates how structural inequalities
stemming from policy, social discrimination and
employment opportunities create stressful
environments for migrants and impact on their health
and well being. In addition, transnational
experiences of health care systems, lack of Asian
health care professionals,interpreters and cultural
stigma surrounding TB create barriers to TB
diagnosis and treatment for migrants, contributing
to inequalities in TB rates between host and migrant
populations. This book will be of value to social
scientists interested in migrant
health,tuberculosis, political ecology and medical
anthropology
