Comparative Perspectives on Refugee Youth Education contributes to the field of refugee studies by challenging the assumption that education is a "cure-all" for integrating refugee youth and their families into host societies. [It] provides a comprehensive analysis of the limitations inherent in refugee youth education, challenging the burden placed on education to solve all challenges associated with refugee integration, while still highlighting the positive role it can play.- Isabel Krakoff, Sociology PhD student, York University, USA
