Ernesto Castañeda: Reunited, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Reunited focuses on Central American youth who migrate without their parents to the United States, particularly to the suburbs of Washington, DC, and how they reunite with family members. The book explains the circumstances of these migrants' arrival and puts their experiences in socio-historical context. The authors discuss Central American migration to the country and DC region and the methods used to collect data; provide a brief recent history of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to explain why people have migrated from this region to the United States; explore the motives for migration; recount the journey from Central America to the U. S. border; present data investigating how family reunification unfolds as well as data involving trauma, PTSD, and depression; delve into how migrant youth fare in schools; and suggest how country-, state-, and local-level policy can help or hinder youth integration and family reunification"--
