Focusing on the experiences of young African and Central Asian migrants in Germany, the book explores the complexities of navigating an immigration system meant to protect minors. It highlights the significant impact of age on their asylum cases, revealing how age-based policies can lead to psychological burdens and practical barriers. Through the lens of social workers and doctors involved in assessing migrants, the narrative critiques the shortcomings of asylum policies, illustrating how well-intentioned systems often fail to meet the humanitarian needs of those they aim to assist.
