Drawing from discussions that pulled together child researchers
working near the borders of Mexico, the United States and Canada,
this book explores how material and metaphoric borders give way to
young people's experimentations with cultural, social and political
change. The contributors highlight the capacities of children to
revolutionize thought and practice through creative re-imagining of
the boundaries, borders, events, circumstances and familial
relations that affect their everyday lives. The first section, in
different ways, highlights borders and movements through them as a
bricolage of images, symbols, tensions and joys. In the second
section, the idea of a portable border is explored in three
chapters that consider a migrants' lifecourse, citizenship and
political activism respectively. The last section of the book
brings together three chapters that uncover how youth resist,
confront and transform the borders that envelop their lives. By
weaving narratives pertaining to young people's creative stories,
transnational migrations, personal identities, pen-pal programs,
masculinites, inter-generational change, border crossings,
political activism and addictions, the contributors in toto raise
the idea of young people taking bounded and embodied events, places
and institutions and moving them towards something emancipatory sin
fronteras - without borders. This book was published as a special
issue of Children's Geographies.
