What is needed to provide a safe and prosperous future for refugee children? In this anthology, several highly regarded scholars come together to give their thoughts on this difficult yet important matter. The methodology differs throughout the book offering both qualitative research, legal reasoning, accounts of local projects and much more. We learn about the experiences of children on the move from both their and their caregivers' perspective, and we hear about the formal and informal barriers for successful healing and absorption into a new culture and place to call home. Though the title indicates that the scope of the anthology is only refugee children, some chapters also, or primarily, include immigrant children, and while this at first can be a bit confusing for the reader, it becomes clear that the lines between being an immigrant or a refugee are blurry at best and differ from country to country making it impossible to insist on a very strict categorization. The anthology is largely written in a language that makes it accessible not only for academics but for all parties interested in developing good practices for working with children who are no longer living in their country of origin.
