Migrant Children And Youth - Wellbeing And Integration Around The World

~~91,43€~~ 73,14€ 20% OFF

 This volume contains an Open Access Chapter.Migration represents a challenge and opportunity. Among the world s migrants are nearly 34 million refugees and asylum seekers; of these, half are estimated to be children. As the world struggles to cope with global economic imbalances, diverging demographic trends, and climate change, international and internal migration are increasingly salient for the wellbeing, social integration, and civil and human rights of children and youth. Migrant Children and Youth includes research contributions that illuminate and engage with children and youth as migrants.Featuring chapters from a global and diverse collection of authors, the chapters provide empirical insights from a global perspective of children and youth who are affected by migration processes. Examining root causes and agency, the authors ask, what extent do children and youth exercise volition in the decision to migrate either internally or internationally? From their vantage points to what extent are children and youth on the move, uprooted, and vulnerable? Upon resettlement, what are the social integration challenges and opportunities for children or youth, and to what extent are children and youth migrants constrained in this new context? What do children and youth experience because of migration, and what does this mean for their wellbeing, social integration, and rights?

Children And Youth As 'Sites Of Resistance' In Armed Conflict

 <p>During the chaos and devastation of armed conflict, children and youth often emerge as powerful agents of change and resilience. <em>Children and Youth as ‘Sites of Resistance’ in Armed Conflict</em>, the first of two volumes, is a compelling exploration of their profound roles as active participants, often functioning as sites of resistance within the complex dynamics of warfare.</p><p>The first volume explores the lived experiences of children and youth in conflict zones, uncovering the different forms of resilience and resistance. Unlike conventional portrayals that confine them solely to victimhood, the chapters address themes such as the intersection of women, children, trauma, and memorialization, as well as the critical examination of human rights and children’s rights within the context of armed conflict. They draw from research conducted in conflict areas including Sudan, Israel-Palestine, Ukraine, Kashmir, and Kosovo, which provides a unique insight into the experiences of these children and youth as they navigate the challenges of traumatic events. Highlighting the importance of memorialization in these communities, <em>Children and Youth as ‘Sites of Resistance’ in Armed Conflict</em> demonstrates this as a means for honouring and commemorating the losses suffered and offers a path toward healing and reconciliation. By shedding light on these intersecting aspects, the scholars amplify the voices of affected children and youth, informing policies, and implementing programs that prioritize their well-being and rights in post-conflict societies.</p><p>Acknowledging the crucial role of children and youth as catalysts for peace and justice in conflict and post-conflict settings, this is pathbreaking reading for scholars of childhood, youth, peace, and conflict.</p>

Victim, Perpetrator, Or What Else? - Generational And Gender Perspectives On Children, Youth, And Violence

~~103,34€~~ 82,67€ 20% OFF

 Children, while being the most victimised group in society, rarely become a topic of sociological research, neither as victims nor as perpetrators. The sociological discussion on power and violence happens beyond generation as an important dimension of social structure, and in many respects also beyond gender aspects that are inseparably linked to generational violence. This is a severe omission when the extent of violence in a society needs to be understood, as well as the structures and processes perpetuating violence or opposing its abolition. It is also a serious obstacle when understanding the position of children and exploring the social meaning of childhood. <div>This volume addresses this blind spot in sociology. It does so by mapping the ways that children and young people are considered victims or perpetrators by their societies and consequently the ways that their societies react. The chapters analyse a variety of phenomena in different countries of the Global North and South. All of these phenomena may be considered to include acts of violence toward children and adolescents, or those committed by them. Thus, violence is addressed as one of the major building blocks of the scope and qualities of children’s agency, limiting the social recognition of their rights as members of their respective societies. With a global reach and cutting-edge research, this book will prove an invaluable text for researchers and leaders in the fields of comparative childhood research and sociology of violence alike. </div>

Gender, Sex, And Sexuality Among Contemporary Youth - Generation Sex

~~109,96€~~ 87,97€ 20% OFF

 Researchers, practitioners, and parents have increasingly become concerned about issues related to sex, gender, and sexuality among children and adolescents. With access to the Internet, young people around the globe can readily obtain virtually any and all information they seek concerning sex and sexuality. In many cultures, the clothing and fashions of children, adolescents, and young adults are increasingly merging, leaving little clear distinction between them, and creating what some consider to be the ‘sexualization’ of children’s and adolescents’ clothing. Coinciding with such changes, young people are more openly expressing their own gender identity, often leading to considerable social debate about feminine and masculine identities, and also transgender identities. <div><br></div><div>This collection provides unique insight into identity formation for contemporary youth and examines the evolving norms concerning sex, gender, and sexuality in the lives of children and adolescents addressing topics including the development of gender identity, sexual behavior among youth, LGBT youth, transgender youth, parental and peer influences upon the development of gender and gender identity and dating violence. </div>
