’We live in an increasingly diverse and complex world where culture, tolerance, acceptance and difference run alongside disempowerment, intolerance, social and spatial inequity. If you want to understand how these axes of difference intersect with place, health and healthcare then read this thought-provoking edited volume. Though geographically anchored in the highly diverse Canadian landscape, the carefully crafted case studies and theoretical insights illustrate the importance of taking a diversity-focused approach to health geography that goes well beyond the Canadian context.’ Christine Milligan, Lancaster University, UK ’Although there has been much research published in health geography on diverse and often marginalized groups, overall the body of work has been produced sporadically and has lacked cohesion around the overarching theme of diversity. This excellent publication addresses this by bringing together a wealth of Canada-focused research in a single venue. A must read for a wide-range of scholars and students in the sub-discipline, the book is easily digested yet is both empirically detailed and theoretically insightful.’ Gavin Andrews, McMaster University, Canada
