About Unaccompanied Young Migrants: Identity, Care And
Product Description Taking a multi-disciplinary perspective, and one grounded in human rights, Unaccompanied young migrants explores in-depth the journeys migrant youths take through the UK legal and care systems. Arriving with little agency, what becomes of these children as they grow and assume new roles and identities, only to risk losing legal protection as they reach eighteen? Through international studies and crucially the voices of the young migrants themselves, the book examines the narratives they present and the frameworks of culture and legislation into which they are placed. It challenges existing policy and questions, from a social justice perspective, what the treatment of this group tells us about our systems and the cultural presuppositions on which they depend. Review “This important and timely book provides a comprehensive analysis of current challenges related to forced migration, from the perspective of unaccompanied children and youths’ subordinated position, while also emphasising their resilience.” Anna Lundberg, Linköping university About the Author University of Guadalajara University of Sussex Kent University Law School Sue Clayton has directed two films on child asylum: Hamedullah: The Road Home (2013) and Calais Children: A Case to Answer (2017), both have been submitted in asylum and High Court appeal cases.
