Global Child
Global Child
Children and Families Affected by War, Displacement, and Migration
Global Child is a gift. It enables the reader to see and understand what ecological, participatory, ethical, and collaborative work looks like; and it makes me hopeful for research, practice, and policy in contexts of conflict and migration that embodies the listening, unlearning, and re-envisioning that this book illuminates.
'Global Child, skillfully edited by Denov, Mitchell, and Rabiau, is a richly textured collection that highlights the impact of war, displacement, and migration on children and families worldwide. The compelling use of participatory, arts-based research makes visible the courage, integrity, and creativity of both researchers and participants alike. Their difficult knowledge needs to be widely shared in the Global North and the Global South.'
