In a strikingly original and innovative approach to one of the most pressing issues confronting children globally--the lives and well-being of migrant children--the authors bring an intersectional, global, and universalist perspective to understanding the experiences of child migrants through literature, art, pedagogy, policy analysis, and case studies. --Mark Lusk, co-editor of Social Justice in the U.S. Mexico Border Region The attentive, sensitive essays in this book invite reflection on the experiences of migrant children and young people in the multifaceted Latin American context, illuminating how these individuals negotiate, interpolate, resignify, and reinvent the border zones that constitute and penetrate their lives. The discussions in this collection will most certainly appeal to scholars and activists, as well as to any professionals directly concerned with issues of migration and with the promotion of the human rights of children and young people. Texts will also be of great value to readers who wish to approach the field from a bottom-up perspective--one centered on the views offered by young migrants in interaction with researchers. --Rosana Kohl Bines, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro
