Abstract [en]

This book is about 20 young unaccompanied refugees who have sought refuge inEurope and how they experience and try to navigate their new situations, includingtheir contacts with social workers, friends and family members left behind.The book contains stories of powerlessness and frustration from being heldunder suspicion, from meeting authorities and abstract people of power from“the system,” or from constantly being categorized in a static category of “theunaccompanied child.” It contains stories of human meetings characterized bythoughtfulness, reciprocity and listening. This book also explores the experiencesof meeting social workers as a young migrant in Sweden. The narratives depicthow social workers can often reproduce powerlessness and frustration among theyoung people, but also how there are those social workers who provide somethingelse through the act of listening. By extension, this is a book about society,about how important it can be to reframe people and to listen to their stories,needs and wills.Demonstrating the importance of listening to the stories of young refuges, thistitle will appeal to students, researchers, community workers and social workersinterested in migration, race and ethnicity, youth studies, social work, sociology,anthropology, pedagogy and health.
