This edited volume investigates the complexities of child refugees and migrants from a global perspective. With millions of young migrants and refugees worldwide, there is a need for novel understandings and conceptualizations of the impact of national policies affecting these children, as well as a thorough investigation of possible methodological dilemmas within research on and with migrant children and youth. This book addresses these in three parts. Part one examines the life experiences of child migrants and refugees with emphasis on how different forms of mobility shape them. Part two explores different contexts of education: How education directed at child migrants becomes organized, the specific educational needs that migrant children have, and the inclusion and possible exclusion of migrant children. Part three discusses and problematizes ethical dilemmas that research on and with migrant children and young people awakens. Foregrounding nuanced perspectives from the “Global South”—or the “world majority”—often ignored in traditional migration research, this book fills a crucial gap in childhood and youth studies as well as migration research.
