TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - School as solution to the problem of urban place: Student migration, perceptions of safety, and children's concept of community JO - Childhood A1 - Quiroz, Pamela Anne A1 - Milam-Brooks, Kisha A1 - Adams-Romena, Dominique SP - 207 EP - 225 VL - 21 IS - 2 N2 - This case study explores how student migration impacts low-income fourth grade African American and Latino children in the US who leave their neighborhoods to attend a state-of-the-art facility in a downtown urban area. Children at the World Citizens School (WCS) convey how safety plays a key role in their restrictions by parents and in their daily lives in a near total institutional environment. The use of multiple methods show how the social relations of community are modified by student migration and how one community is displaced by another.
