Refugee Youth
Telling the stories of young refugees in a range of international urban settings, this book explores how newcomers navigate urban spaces and negotiate multiple injustices in their everyday lives.
This innovative edited volume is based on in-depth, qualitative research with young refugees and their perspectives on migration, social relations and cultural spaces. The chapters give voice to refugee youth from a wide variety of social backgrounds, including insights about their migration experiences, their negotiations of spatial justice and injustice, and the diverse ways in which they use urban space.
"This is an inspiring collection of chapters drawing on the diverse perspectives and experiences of refugee youth as they navigate and transform the urban spaces of their new homes.” Katie Willis, Royal Holloway, University of London
