The volume explores how children and youth encounter, move through, or are outside of legal processes, including border enforcement, immigration detention, federal custody, courts, and state processes of categorization. It prioritizes the voices and everyday experiences of immigrant children and youth themselves and presents rich accounts that can contribute to informed debates and policy reforms. The book also makes visible the burdens, hopes, and potential of a population of young people and their families who have been largely hidden from public view and are currently under siege. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 256 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 February 2019\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the United States, a significant number of children are undocumented migrants or have family members who entered the country without proper authorization. These children and youth face unique challenges that require special attention. Illegal Encounters delves into the experiences of young people, both those who migrate and those impacted by the migration of others, regarding illegality, deportability, and deportation. The primary objective of the volume is to explore how children and youth navigate, encounter, or are excluded from various legal processes, such as border enforcement, immigration detention, federal custody, courts, and state categorization processes. It is important to note that even if young people do not directly interact with state immigration systems, they are still profoundly affected by the government's reach in various forms. Contributors prioritize the voices and everyday experiences of immigrant children and youth themselves. By bringing together perspectives from advocates, service providers, attorneys, researchers, and young immigrants, the volume offers rich accounts that can inform informed debates and policy reforms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllegal Encounters sheds light on the intricate ways in which policies, laws, and legal categories shape the daily lives of young immigrants. The book unveils the burdens, hopes, and potential of this population, which has been largely overlooked and is currently facing significant challenges due to their movement through complex immigration systems and institutions in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 230 x 15 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781479861071\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095609569530,"sku":"9781479861071","price":22.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/83c2e368de32ca9077d3c5764de37cdd.jpg?v=1625281100","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/illegal-encounters-the-effect-of-detention-and-deportation-on-young-people","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
