In spite of our apparently connected global environment, people are
becoming less connected. Digital communication leads to fewer
face-to-face engagements, and many young children are separated
from their parents for extended periods. The post-truth phenomenon
has resulted in mistrust between policymakers and the people they
serve, whilst increased immigration has led to some rich countries
adopting a protectionist stance that transforms collaboration into
separatism. At its 2014 meeting, the European Early Childhood
Education Research Association's Young Children's Perspectives
Special Interest Group considered how these issues were affecting
young children, particularly the many thousands entering Europe at
that time as refugees and migrants escaping conflict in their home
countries. Many of those displaced young children found themselves
situated on the margins of their new contexts. The feeling of being
'othered' can be existential for any young child experiencing
liminality, yet a sense of belonging is important for young
children's well-being and development of identity: the feeling of
belonging lies at the core of social inclusion. This book, the idea
for which arose out of this meeting, is drawn from leading edge
empirical studies, and reveals the diverse experiences of young
children's marginalisation. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the European Early Childhood Education Research
Journal.
