Popis:	This review essay discusses how migrant childhood is inextricably spatial, and therefore tied up with the material and discursive dimensions of places such as camps and borders. The focus is on the issue of how marginalized political subjects as migrant minors claim their rights through space, because unaccompanied and undocumented minors live in a state of limbo that can persist indefinitely. It means that in many cases they live as unaccompanied or undocumented minors across borders without full legal recognition, experiencing permanent temporariness and uncertainty. This tenuous life in the shadows is marked as fully ambiguous and too often without leading to durable solutions towards permanent legal status. The Jungle and Lives in Limbo offer significant insights into the discussion about migrating children in a broad context of such places as borders and camps.
