Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain Zusammenfassung

Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain: Oral Histories 1930s-Present Day Dr Eithne Nightingale

Almost half the people displaced worldwide are under 18, yet their voices are rarely heard. This book records the experiences of children arriving in Britain from Hitlers Europe in the 1930s to those escaping war in Ukraine in 2022. It follows the journeys of war-traumatised children from Mogadishu to Mile End and from Syria to a Scottish isle. Some followed their parents to the motherland from the former British Empire. Others came independently to escape forced marriage or military conscription. These powerful testimonies shed light on childrens motivations, trials and achievements, including in adult life, providing critical insight into how the British both individually and collectively have welcomed or shunned child migrants. Importantly, Eithne Nightingale links these stories with contemporary issues such as the Windrush Scandal and Britains Illegal Migration Act 2023. Situated in its historical and political context, Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain makes vital reading for those studying modern British history, migration and human rights as well as those working with child migrants. It will also appeal to a general audience interested in inspirational life stories

Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain Bewertungen

This is a superb piece of committed scholarship weaving together, through oral history, a powerful range of child migrant voices from the 1930s through to the present day. When the British government is treating young asylum seekers and others with disdain, it is crucial to restore their humanity; Eithne Nightingales book does with care, subtlety and compassion * Tony Kushner, James Parkes Professor of History, Parkes Institute, University of Southampton, UK *
Drawing on know-how and contacts from a career working in adult education and museums, Nightingales sensitive collation of stories is remarkable for the sheer diversity of the experiences it details. -- Sarah Birch * Hackney Citizen *
