Abstract

"When Children Become Migrants: Human Rights and Violent Exceptions in Mexico" is a book written by Elisa Ortega Velazquez that explores the experiences of children involved in migratory processes in Mexico. The book highlights how immigration control policies can undermine children's rights and exposes the mistreatment and violence that vulnerable migrant children face. It discusses instances of state negligence and unlawful behavior, as well as the use of "violent exceptions" by the state to restrict the rights of migrant children. The book also theorizes the concept of the "sacer child" and examines the impact of power discourses on child migration. Overall, the book sheds light on the specific vulnerabilities faced by migrant children and calls for their special protection. [Extracted from the article]
