All across the globe people flee their homes in search of safety;
in particular, we know that children move in great numbers. This
book spotlights the experiences of these child refugees in modern
British history for the first time. From Somalia and Syria to East
London and the Isle of Bute, this book charts the experiences of
children who migrated to Britain, sometimes accompanied by loved
ones and other times completely alone, from 1930 to the present
day. It explores their motivations, trials and achievements, and
provides critical insight into how the British – both on an
individual and collective level – have welcomed and shunned
vulnerable refugees over the years. Most importantly, Eithne
Nightingale links these rich stories of child migration from
history with contemporary issues such as Britain’s Nationality
and Borders Bill, Brexit and the European refugee crisis, making it
vital reading for both historians of modern Britain and scholars of
migration and human rights more broadly. Expertly situated in its
historical and political context, Child Migrant Voices in Modern
Britain is a carefully-curated and urgently-needed collection of
oral histories from child refugees who arrived in Britain over the
last 100 years.
