Focusing on the context of Canadian policy and society, the contributors illuminate migrants' testimonies of struggle, resistance, and solidarity as they negotiate a place for themselves in a new country. Topics range from the difficulties of Francophone refugees and the changing roles of fathers, to the experiences of queer newcomers and the importance of social unity to communal and individual health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 1: Situating Migration, Gender and Health in Canada\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngendering Migrant Health in Canada\u003cbr\u003e Denise L.
