| Abstract | Introduction -- Leaving and finding home -- Legends for the state -- Educating immigrant youth -- Institutionalizing paradoxes -- Making the system work -- Conclusion. "This book explores the experiences of unaccompanied immigrant youth once they arrive to the United States, with a focus on the professionals who try to help. Once youth are detained at the border, they encounter a wide range of professionals whose job it is to help youth find a family system, obtain legal relief, and enter into the education system. Although many professionals who work to help youth often have youth's best interests in mind, their jobs are shaped by three important strains in U.S. history: border security, racialized child welfare, and neoliberal humanitarianism. Because of this, professionals who work with youth find that they are often complicit in the same oppressive systems that they work against. This book explores the tension in this system by providing a critical lens to those who try to help"--Provided by publisher. |
