In the past decade, over a half million children have fled from Central America to the United States, seeking safety and a chance to continue lives halted by violence. Yet upon their arrival, they fail to find the protection that our laws promise, based on the broadly shared belief that children should be safeguarded. A meticulously researched ethnography, Precarious Protections chronicles the experiences and perspectives of Central American unaccompanied minors and their immigration attorneys as they pursue applications for refugee status in the US asylum process. Chiara Galli debunks assumptions about asylum, including the idea that people are being denied protection because they file bogus claims. In practice, the United States interprets asylum law far more narrowly than what is necessary to recognize real-world experiences of escape from life-threatening violence. This is especially true for children from Central America. Galli reveals the formidable challenges of lawyering with children and exposes the human toll of the US immigration bureaucracy--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Unaccompanied immigrant children $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Central Americans $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Asylum, Right of $z United States. 650 0 $a Refugee children $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Refugees $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Legal assistance to children $z United States. 650 0 $a Legal assistance to immigrants $z United States. 650 0 $a Legal assistance to refugees $z United States. 650 7 $a Asylum, Right of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00819842 650 7 $a Legal assistance to children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995403 650 7 $a Legal assistance to immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01747898 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Galli, Chiara, 1987- $t Precarious protections $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2023] $z 9780520391925 $w (DLC) 2022037192 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68D6D0349E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
