Rezensionen

"This text provides a welcome and comprehensive look at the circumstances of refugees, and in so doing, argues effectively that bespoke education is an essential pathway into their resettlement, flourishing and future opportunities. Designing refugee education in a way that encourages youth to build on their strengths, retain their cultures and identities while adapting to the laws and values of England, and by extension, Europe and democratic societies, is the most promising approach we have for creating a sense of belonging, mutual understanding and acceptance. We learn much about ourselves as the authors' unique yet complementary exploration of theory, practice, and refugee and their teachers' narratives communicate the full complexity of refugees' resettlement at the nexus of education, politics, economics, and the simple joy of finding hope in life again after trauma and loss."

Susan Barber, Senior Lecturer in Education, Simon Fraser University, Canada

"This is a very timely and internationally significant book on refugee education. It is moving, informative and academically robust. It is also a powerful call for action in support of inclusive education for refugee and asylum seeker children. The authors develop a theoretically rich interdisciplinary account of refugee education drawn from lessons from history as well as the lived experiences of young people and the professionals who work with them. It is an inspirational book that highlights optimism over despair and offers ways forward for schools. This is a must-read book for all involved in refugee education."

Ian Thompson, Associate Professor of Education, University of Oxford, UK

"Bringing together the lived experiences of refugee students with practical theory, Joanna McIntyre and Fran Abrams's Refugee Education: Theorising Practice in Schools brilliantly illuminates the difference schools can make, as sites of recognition, belonging and ultimately healing, in the lives of young people who have experienced too much of the world's cruelty. A must read for anyone interested in inclusive education, refugee studies or social and global justice."

Wayne Veck, Reader in Education and Pathway Leader Education Studies, University of Winchester, UK
