Abstract
⺠Cultural explanations for immigrant health outcomes obscure the impact of structural factors on immigrant health. ⺠A stronger emphasis on how place, racialization processes, and immigration policies impact immigrant health is necessary. ⺠We recommend an intersectional approach to the study of immigrant health. ⺠We suggest specific lines of inquiry regarding immigrants' experiences with racism and anti-immigrant policies, and their health impact. ⺠Interpreting available immigration-related measures requires fuller theorizing as to their context-specific meaning.
