{"product_id":"children-at-the-border-jo-anne-wilson-keenan-9781476685427","title":"Children at the Border: An American Human Rights Crisis","description":"\u003cp\u003e The Trump administration violated the rights of migrant children who fled brutal violence in the Northern Triangle of Central America. Their rights are human rights. This book explores the administration's policies and practices of family separation at the U.S. southern border and its confinement of migrant children that, in some cases, experts describe as torture. Specific connections are made between harmful actions on the part of government officials and agencies, and provisions that protect against them in The Convention on the Rights of the Child and four other UN conventions. Awareness of the violations and the safeguards afforded to children may help preserve children's human rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book also examines efforts of humanitarian organizations, courts, and legislators to reclaim and defend migrant children's rights. The author's research includes information from international and national government documents, news reports, and interviews and stories that resulted from networking with advocates in both Arizona and Mexico. The young asylum seekers were called \"criminals\" and \"not-innocent\" by the President. However, his narrative is contradicted by vignettes that describe children's own experiences and beliefs and by photographs of them taken by advocates in Arizona and by the author in shelters in Mexico where families await asylum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo-Anne Wilson-Keenan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476685428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476685427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Jo-Anne Wilson-Keenan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045455884543,"sku":"9781476685427","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebeadfac-4451-4b21-84eb-a77868e4c85e.jpg?v=1684978856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/children-at-the-border-jo-anne-wilson-keenan-9781476685427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
