Table of ContentsReviews"""Reunited is an essential account of the nefarious effects of inhumane U.S. immigration policy that separates Central American children from their immigrant parents. Ernesto Casta�eda and Daniel Jenks offer a nuanced and compelling portrayal of the enduring toll of these separations on child well-being and family ties, as well as the challenges and emotional labor involved in 'picking up the pieces' once children migrate to the United States to reunite with their parents, while also suggesting reforms that would aid their integration in U.S. society."" --Chiara Galli, assistant professor, Department of Comparative Human Development, University of Chicago ""Reunited captures the full complexity of contemporary Central American migration to the United States, explaining both the structural and historical forces propelling it and the ways in which families are surviving in their midst. This important book humanizes one of the most politically and morally challenging issues of our time."" --Leah C. Schmalzbauer, Karen and Brian Conway '80, P'18 Presidential Teaching Professor of American Studies and Sociology, Amherst College ""Timely, meticulously researched and argued, Reunited deftly weaves the voices of Central American youth migrants into cutting-edge scholarly arguments to produce a compelling account that is inspiring, humane, and powerful. Essential reading for scholars, students, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the so-called root causes of Central American migration."" --Cecilia Menj�var, Dorothy L.
