‘Unaccompanied’ Minors? Accompanied Foreign Minors, Families and New Technologies

Abstract: This work aims to make apparent the importance of family, throughout the life trajectories of a group of young people whose very juridical designation-unaccompanied foreign minors-seems to preclude the possibility of recognising and appreciating such importance.
