This ethnographic inquiry into the medico-legal and administrative practices governing the Canadian immigration system shows how this system works from the perspective of the very people toward whom this exclusionary health policy is directed. As Laura Bisaillon demonstrates, mandatory immigration HIV screening triggers institutional practices that are highly problematic not only for would-be immigrants, but also for the bureaucrats, doctors, and lawyers who work within that system. She provides a vital corrective to state claims about the function of mandatory HIV testing and medical examination, pinpointing how and where things need to change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Bisaillon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774867477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774867474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Laura Bisaillon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059682734335,"sku":"9780774867474","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6788171d-b2c0-4e52-a070-f3a929483223.jpg?v=1685059706","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/screening-out-laura-bisaillon-9780774867474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
