Separated Migrant Young Women in State Care : Living in Contested Spaces, Hardcover by Larkin, Rachel, ISBN 3031151828, ISBN-13 9783031151828, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book considers the responses of states to migrant girls who are separated from family and enter state care systems as unaccompanied or trafficked young people. Th draws on research with girls and social work practitioners in the UK to explore what can happen when separated girls encounter professionals at borders and within care systems. It considers how separated girls adapt to different ideas of what it means to be a girl in destination countries, and how this is affected by their other intersecting identities. Th identifies how girls can feel welcomed, but also how young migrants can be seen in excluding ways. It argues that narratives of the fragile 'refugee child’ are unhelpful ways to understand individual girls. Using theories and clear language relevant to both academics and practitioners, the author fills a gap in the research on migrant and trafficked young women who frequently represent the minority in care systems globally.
