Abstract
An increasing amount of research highlights the challenges of integrating migrants into European societies. The book Undocumented Migrants and Healthcare: Eight Sories from Switzerland by Marianne Jossen focuses on undocumented migrants, persons that lack the legal entitlement to live in a country. This category comprises those who have overstayed their visas, people who crossed the border without legal entitlement to do so, and failed asylum seekers, generally non-citizens who are excluded fom basic social services. Using interviews with migrants, healthcare professsionals ans NGO staff, this book examines the experience of undocumented migrants when they try to access healthcare in one region of Switzeland.
