Author-meets-readers: Irregular Migrants and the Right to Health by Stefano Angeleri

On 16 May 2023, the launch of Dr Stefano Angeleri’s book, Irregular Migrants and the Right to Health, in which we all participated, developed into an enriching discussion on the need to challenge a restrictive and selective human rights approach to the health of migrant populations. On that occasion, we came up with the idea of drafting a short ‘author-meets-readers’ piece which is a format that allows a more dynamic engagement than a book review, helping to demonstrate not just the quality of a book being published but also the different responses to it and how they prompt ideas for future research. Therefore, the structure of this review is as follows: the first three sections feature critical feedback on the book’s topical issues from Professor Felipe González Morales, Dr Claire Lougarre and Dr Sarah Craig respectively. In the fourth section, Dr Angeleri provides a brief engagement with these perspectives.
