| Description: | Using comparative, cross-national perspectives, this volume critically analyzes the educational structures, policies, and practices intended to support refugee youths’ transition from conflict and post-conflict zones to mainstream classrooms and schools in their receiving countries. This volume explores the shared expectations that education is a panacea for the difficulties that refugees and their receiving countries face. This book investigates the ways in which education is both a dream solution as well as a contested landscape for refugee families and students. Using comparative, cross-national perspectives across five continents, the editors and contributors critically analyze the educational structures, policies, and practices intended to support refugee youth transition from conflict and post-conflict zones to mainstream classrooms and schools in their new communities. |
