Eithne Nightingale, author of Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain: Oral Histories 1930s -Present Day, published by Bloomsbury 2024 is joined by those who have contributed to the book. Maurice Nwokeji who survived the Biafran war; Rajonuddin Jalal, from Bangladesh, a youth activist against the National Front featured in Channel 4 programme Defiance; Linh Vu who escaped Vietnam by boat and Mariia Riasenko who fled war in Ukraine will read from their respective chapters. This will be followed by a discussion about how child migrants have felt welcomed or shunned by British society.

The evening ends with a reggae performance of music inspired by Maurice's experience of war.

Copies of the book will be available to buy.
