Rezensionen

"Learning, Migration and Intergenerational Relations describes how minor ethnic groups engage with education, particularly when they are marginalized and displaced. ... it is particularly appealing to readers who are interested in the issues of education, migration, ethnic studies, and international development." (In Cheol Jang, The European Journal of Development Research, Vol. 31, 2019)

"This book contributes to the literature on the Karen, in particular their education, schooling and migration. It provides rich descriptions of young people's schooling experiences, their aspirations and their trajectories. ... This book fills a gap in studies on the Karen and provides us with a better understanding of the learning and migration

experiences and aspirations of Thai Karen and of Myanmar Karen who live or have lived in refugee camps." (Su-Ann ho, SOJOURN: Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia, Vol. 33 (1), March, 2018)

"Learning, Migration and Intergenerational Relations offers a new insight into a particular ethnic group's engagement with education. ... Joliffe's Learning, Migration andIntergenerational Relations should have appeal to a wide audience. The author's ability to combine academic and narrative genres provides relevance to readers across many interest areas, including but not limited to, Southeast Asian, ethnic and/or cultural studies, education, social justice, development, religious-based programmes and inter-generational relations." (Shirley Worland, Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 47 (3), March, 2017)
