Education, Asylum and the ''Non-Citizen'' Child

Awarded 2nd Prize, Best Book award, the Society for Education Studies, 2011

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.
