Este número temático é constituído por três partes. A primeira, «contributos da investigação para o conhecimento da temática imigração e saúde», composta por artigos originais resultantes predominantemente de investigações científicas, pretende contribuir para aprofundar a fundamentação teórica e a evidência científica nesta matéria. A segunda parte, denominada «programas e referências de boas práticas que promovem a melhoria da saúde dos imigrantes», apresenta trabalhos que não têm como objecto a migração e saúde numa perspectiva de investigação, mas constituem um pano de fundo imprescindível para a compreensão holística desta temática. Estes contributos descrevem a experiência prática de quem trabalha no terreno com comunidades imigrantes e resume as dificuldades e oportunidades inerentes a esse trabalho, perspectiva extremamente importante na temática abordada por este número da revista. Por último, foi organizada uma secção composta por «artigos de opinião».

This edited volume explores migration movements to Norway, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Portugal from Brazil, Morocco and Ukraine, focusing on how the migration processes of yesterday influence those of today. The central analytical tool for this undertaking is the concept of feedback. This volume identifies various feedback mechanisms that initiate, perpetuate and reverse migration movements. It pays attention to the role of personal networks, but it also moves beyond networks by analysing the role of institutions, macro-level factors and forms of broadcast feedback operating through impersonal channels. Based on extensive surveys and in-depth interviews, it changes our understanding of how and why patterns of international migration change over time.

The impact of gender on migration processes Considering the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between gender relations and migration, the contributions in this book approach migration dynamics from a gender-sensitive perspective. Bringing together insights from various fields of study, it is demonstrated how processes of social change occur differently in distinct life domains, over time, and across countries and/or regions, influencing the relationship between gender and migration. Detailed analysis by regions, countries, and types of migration reveals a strong variation regarding levels and features of female and male migration. This approach enables us to grasp the distinct ways in which gender roles, perceptions, and relations, each embedded in a particular cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic context, affect migration dynamics. Hence, this volume demonstrates that gender matters at each stage of the migration process. In its entirety, Gender and Migrationgives evidence of the unequivocal impact of gender and gendered structures, both at a micro and macro level, upon migrant’s lives and of migration on gender dynamics.
