Migrants is a book designed to provide an easy-to-understand
explanation for all the doubts kids might have when they hear about
the 'migrant crisis' on the news. Humanity was nomadic for 99% of
its existence. Sedentary life, national borders and the creation of
identity documents for increasingly stricter population control are
comparatively recent phenomena, and paradoxical given that the
world is becoming ever more globalized. The recent emergence of
populist movements in the West that are focused on closing borders
and rejecting others raises serious questions about our sense of
fraternity, especially when we could be facing ever larger
migration movements due to the climate crisis. This book concisely
explains what migration is, its causes and consequences, and the
humanistic and legal aspects regarding it in the simplest, most
objective ways possible, so that children have all the information
they need to understand the world around them. AGES: 8 plus AUTHOR:
