| Description: |
Refugees are physically and symbolically 'out of place' - their presence forces governments to address issues of rights and moral obligations. This book contrasts the hostility of immigration policy to 'non-citizen" children with teachers' exceptional compassion and 'citizen students' ambivalence in defining who can belong. |
| Synopsis: |
This book draws on 10 years of empirical research to assess for the first time the politics of compassion and belonging associated with immigration policy and its impact on the education system in the UK. The authors expose major tensions between restrictive asylum policies and responses by schools and local government to the presence of asylum seeking and refugee children. They reveal a compassionate professionalism amongst teachers and an emergent 'new politics' which challenges the forcible removal by government of children to detention centres and the deportation of families. Major findings of their innovative research include the forms of exclusion which 'non-citizen' children experience within inclusive schools and the ways in which the empathy of 'citizen' students towards those seeking asylum is at risk of being overridden by defensive national identities. This book is essential reading for courses on children's rights, equality and migration studies and for teachers and other professionals in the field of refugee education, immigration and community and social work. |
