Children of the Crisis (eBook, PDF)

Ethnographic Perspectives on Unaccompanied Refugee Youth In and en Route to Europe
Redaktion: Lems, Annika; Strasser, Sabine; Oester, Kathrin

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates the emergence of the unaccompanied child refugee as a 'crisis figure'. It shows how the sense of exceptionality attached to the figure translates into ambiguous and at times extremely contradictory social practices that have far-reaching effects on the lives of refugee youth.
