Beschreibungen
<span><span>As global societies grapple with an unprecedented refugee and migration crisis, child refugees and migrants—who constitute a particularly vulnerable immigrant category—have been surprisingly overlooked in immigration scholarship. This book addresses this lapse by presenting interdisciplinary perspectives on child refugees and migrants. It provides a comprehensive overview of child refugees and migrants through richly varied interdisciplinary academic perspectives that integrate communication, media studies, journalism, sociology, criminology, cultural studies, international relations, and public policy. Employing diverse theoretical and methodological lenses, it complicates and elucidates the particular sociopolitical and cultural issues prompted by child migrants and refugees while engaging a range of academic and policy discussions. Relevant to scholars and policy makers alike, </span><span>Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Child Migrants: Seen but Not Heard</span><span> is an integral and foundational text exploring this relatively unchartered region within immigrant research.</span></span>
<span><span>As global societies grapple with unprecedented numbers of migrants, children constitute a largely overlooked demographic in immigration scholarship. This timely interdisciplinary anthology addresses this lapse through analyses of media representations, personal narratives, and resettlement policies pertaining to child migrants and refugees. </span></span>
