Child Migration & Human Rights in a Global Age

Spanning several continents and drawing on the stories of young migrants, Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age provides a comprehensive account of the widespread and growing but neglected global phenomenon of child migration and child trafficking. Jacqueline Bhabha explores the complex challenges facing children and adolescents who move to join their families, those who are moved to be exploited, and those who move simply to survive. Part history, part in-depth legal and political analysis, Bhabha's book argues that our societies have a deep-seated ambivalence to migrant children--one that needs to be addressed head-on. This powerful book offers a road map for doing just that, and makes a compelling and courageous case for an international ethics of children's human rights.
