In recent years there has been growing interest in the experiences of young people seeking asylum in Europe. While the significance of the role of age is recognized, both youth transitions and trajectories beyond the age of eighteen are still largely unexplored, the role and impact of mobility predominantly centering on experiences of movement from country of origin to country of settlement. Inhabiting Borders, Routes Home contends that in considering migration and settlement experiences of young refugees it is also important to consider the role of their mobility through age and transitions in the country of settlement. Based on narrative research with young refugees, this book explores how migration journeys are intertwined with life course journeys and transitions into adulthood, shedding light on the manner in which gender intersects with age in experiences of migration and settlement, with close attention to the processes by which home is understood and constructed. Through the concept of home the book draws together and reflects on interconnections between integration in areas such as education or housing and experiences of social networks. Examining experiences of the asylum process and the manner in which they are interwoven within a wider narrative of home both within and beyond, Inhabiting Borders, Routes Home will be of interest to social scientists working in the areas of migration, asylum, intersectionality and the life course.

Inhabiting Borders, Routes Home
The transition from young teenager to mature adult is one which is accompanied by a diversity of experiences and landscapes, some pleasant, some less so. It can be a hard journey to travel for the secure and confident youngster, nurtured and protected by family and surrounded by the familiar. How much more so, for the deracinated young refugee or asylum seeker, who faces the future in a foreign land, all too often without the comfort and support of kith or kin and without the security of home. It is the life journeys of young, refugee and asylum seeking girls/women, and their constructions and interpretations of home in alien surroundings, which provide the theme of this book. As the author explains, it is a volume which concentrates solely on the female, as her earlier work, which incorporated both genders, had highlighted significant gendered differences and the need to explore these gendered differences in depth.
The meaning of home is not easy to define; it has a multiplicity of connotations and arouses an array of emotions. For some young refugee women it was the push factor, a place of subjugation and exclusion where they lived out their hidden and other lives in fear. For others it was a place once filled with laughter and sunshine, which turned into a nightmare in which exodus became the only means of survival. For many of the young transnational actors in this book, home became a fusion of myths accumulated in a remembered landscape which may itself be more imagined than real. As Ala Sirriyeh describes, for some the abrupt interruption that was forced migration brought freedom, for some a sense of bereavement, and for others still, a confusion of the two. Yet home is not only the private place, one where being is played out behind closed doors, it is also a public space where life is performed on a familiar stage. As the author illustrates so vividly in this volume, in contrast to what they experienced before, young asylum seekers and refugees are forced to act out their transitional life journeys on unfamiliar private and public stages.
In reading this book we discover how the young female refugees and asylum seekers, now located in West Yorkshire, attempt to construct/reconstruct home whilst making the journey from childhood to adulthood. It is their recorded narratives which illuminate the reality of their hardship and, indeed, bravery, in creating new lives in an alien, and at times, hostile, society. We learn of the stress of shared accommodation and the lack of personal, private space, and the tension created whilst waiting for the award of refugee status, the granting of which would enable them to plan ahead and establish a proper home: a home which would provide a secure bridge from the past to the future; a space which might be a replica of that left behind or a template for tomorrow. For the young female refugee the process of creating that home necessitates negotiation in a foreign landscape and an acceptance of the trials that lie ahead. By gaining an insight into the personal histories of the 23 actors in this impressively researched and theorised book we get a sense that, having overcome the past, in time these young women will surmount the challenges of the future and take their place as mature and responsible adults in their new home.
