“This is an excellent read for anyone interested in childhood studies and migration. … the book provided me with a level of insight that I did not expect, but thoroughly enjoyed.” (Nina Svane Bruhn, Nordic Journal of Migration Research NJMR, Vol. 9 (3), 2019)“Translocal Childhoods and Family Mobility in East and North Europe is an important contribution to the literature on both migration and mobility and the field of childhood and youth studies.
