Reviews
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 Nightingale's book does with care, subtlety and compassion * Tony Kushner, James Parkes Professor of History, Parkes Institute, University of Southampton, UK *
