Mullally and Wright give an expert demonstration of this approach, founded on meticulous research into medical migration which moves deftly between individual experience and broader patterns. The result is a study which not only enhances our understanding of Canada's health politics, but also illuminates the underpinnings of professional mobility in an earlier era of globalisation." Martin Gorsky, Centre for History in Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine 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.
