Migration movements have been a constant in the societies of the
past, as well as in postmodern society. However, in the past ten
years, the increase in political, economic, and religious conflict
amongst nations; the increase of the poverty index; and many and
various natural disasters have duplicated the forced displacement
of millions of people across the seven continents of the planet.
This situation brings important challenges in terms of the
vulnerability, inequity, and discrimination that certain peoples
suffer. Professionals from the fields of the social sciences,
education, psychology, and international law share the fact that
education represents an opportunity for children and young migrants
to become members with full rights in the societies they arrive in.
Empirical studies show that that the implementation of the right to
education for migrants presents some challenges and dilemmas to the
governments of host countries and more specifically to the
education centers, NGOs, universities, and the professionals
working in them, hence the need for more research on these issues
of immigration, refugees, social justice, and intercultural
education. The Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for
Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and
Intercultural Education provides visibility to issues such as the
increase in migration and displacement and the difficulties in
political agreements, educational contexts, and in cultural issues,
stigmatization, vulnerability, social exclusion, racism, and hatred
amongst host communities. This book gives possible solutions to
this current complex situation and helps foster and promote
sensitivity, perspective, and critical thinking for a respectful
and tolerant coexistence and promotion of equity and social
justice. The chapters promote cultural diversity and inclusion in
classrooms by offering knowledge, strategies, and research on
organizational development for educational institutions and
multicultural environments. This book is essential for
administrators, policymakers, leaders, teachers, practitioners,
researchers, academicians, and students interested in the promotion
of social justice in education for immigrants and refugees.
