'No right to dream': being young and undocumented in Britain
What does it mean to be young and undocumented in contemporary Britain?
How do young migrants cope with life in Britain at a time of economic
downturn and the government ‘tough touch’ on undocumented migrants?
'No right to dream' is a piece of research led by Alice Bloch
(Department of Sociology, City University London), Nando Sigona and
Roger Zetter (Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford) and contains
the results of large-scale qualitative research into the social worlds
and economic livelihoods of British-based young undocumented migrants
from China, Turkey (Kurds), Brazil, Zimbabwe and Ukraine.
Built around the accounts of 75 migrants from five different countries,
this research captures a complex reality, moving between the uniqueness
of the individual experience and the search for patterns and
commonalities across migrants’ accounts of their everyday lives and
experiences.
The study was based on in-depth interviews and testimonies with 75 young
people in London, the North West and the Midlands, conducted between
August 2008 and January 2009.
The report, commissioned by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Social Justice
programme, is now available to download from http://www.staff.city.ac.uk/yum
