“…Across New York City, however, a variety of factors soon intertwined to reverse the population losses. One was immigration: hundreds of thousands of new residents arrived in New York City in the subsequent decades, many fleeing poverty and civil strife in Central America and the Caribbean, which themselves can be seen as fallout from the legacy of colonialism (Birkenmaier et al, 2020). By 2010, the neighborhood had overtaken its previous census count, as had much of the city as a whole (Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, 2019).…”

Social determinants of health are a subject of growing interest, yet criticisms have emerged about the way determinants are conceptualized in nursing. A tendency to focus on readily observable living conditions and measurable demographic characteristics can divert attention, it has been said, from the less visible underlying processes which shape social life and health. To illustrate how the analytic perspective determines what becomes visible or invisible as a “determinant” in health, this paper presents a case exemplar. Drawing from news reports and research in real estate economics and urban policy analysis, it explores a single local infectious illness outbreak through a series of progressively more abstract units of inquiry, considering mechanisms of lending and debt financing, housing supply, property valuation, tax policy, change in the structure of the financial industry, and international patterns of migration and capital flow, among other factors, which contributed in various ways to creating unsafe living conditions. An analytic exercise calling attention to dynamism and complexity in social processes, the paper offers a political‐economy‐based approach that serves as a cautionary note against oversimplification in discussions of health causality.

Fictions of migration from Guyana and the Caribbean hold space for migrants’ emotions. Some analyses have been done on longer works of migrant fiction. However, since poem forms are convenient to write when “on the move” it seems like poems of migration from the region should abound. This is sometimes true, especially as regards the volume of poems of departure. However, this is not the case when it comes to poems written by and about those remaining within the region, those who directly bear the effects of emigration. This chapter traces the chronological migratory narrative of Guyana and the Anglophone Caribbean through a selection of 32 poems, first by grouping these poems into four categories, and then by applying some aspects of Kevin Potter’s theory of kinopoetics to the analysis of these poems in order to examine the function of each category to the larger migration narrative of the region.
