“…However, the views of the families’ participating in my ethnographic study (Lind, 2018) were the complete opposite. While governmental representatives viewed the parents as putting their children at risk by ‘hiding’ them, the parents viewed the government and its institutions as putting their children at risk by trying to deport them.…”

“…In this article, I put forward what might appear as a counterintuitive argument that in the deportation regime (De Genova and Peutz, 2010), children’s rights are increasingly mobilised for governing and controlling, rather than enabling, vulnerabilised migrant children’s territorial presence and mobility. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Sweden and the United Kingdom among undocumented migrant families and children, I have earlier shown how children’s rights are one of few resources available for these families to look to in their everyday life struggles (Lind, 2018). However, this fact does not do away with the possibility that these same rights also could be mobilised for controlling territorial presence and mobility, enabling problematic delimitations of migrant categorisations and defining what is considered appropriate and problematic types of childhoods and parenthoods.…”

“…A motherwork framework has been successfully applied to stigmatized as well as disrupted periods in family life and acknowledges shifting positions of care and responsibility in conjunction with oppressive regimes (cf. Lind, 2019;Sakho, 2017). Therefore, it seems highly applicable here in understanding the fluidity of mediation behaviors for participants in the study and moves beyond simplistic applications of maternal "gatekeeping" aimed at deflecting father involvement.…”

“…Quite the opposite, current refugee policies around the world tend to emphasize individuality at the cost of familiality (e.g. Lippert and Pyykkönen 2012;Hedlund 2017;Honkasalo et al 2017;Kallio and Häkli 2018;Lind 2018; Jacobsen forthcoming; Mitchell and Sparke forthcoming).…”

“…With them, refugees may apply for family reunion yet, in many cases, it is made very difficult. The right is restricted to specific family members with particular family histories, opportunities to application are offered in unattainable locations, and the right can be denied tout court based on a temporary refugee status for instance (Honkasalo et al 2017;Lind 2018; Jacobsen forthcoming).…”
