Central American Young People Migration (Youth, Young Adulthood And Society)

This book examines the social construction and representation of 'youth on the move' in context of the migration process using El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as a case study to reinterpret the immigration process under the frameworks of coloniality and Epistemologies of the South. The discussion surrounding Central American migrants has increased exponentially with the emergence of the caravans and the increased security measures along Mexican and US borders. Explicitly focused on the plight of children and young people, the examination of migration includes exploring the global context and dynamics that influence migratory trends and framing Central American migrant processes and youth strategies of survival and resistance. Contributing to existing conversations about the migration of people from Central America, this text seeks to understand the phenomenon's root. This book will interest scholars and students across the social sciences, particularly those studying the global dynamics of power and studies of migration, governance, as well as practitioners involved in decision-making with governments and international organizations.
