Sylvie Aprile : Children in Exile, Children of Exile; Some Leads, Sources and Political Issues
What do we call in the 19th century a child in exile? Through a few examples of children, famous or not, and through sources that allow us not only to take them out of their supposed invisibility but also to demonstrate that their existence is part of exile, this contribution ... (Show more)
What do we call in the 19th century a child in exile? Through a few examples of children, famous or not, and through sources that allow us not only to take them out of their supposed invisibility but also to demonstrate that their existence is part of exile, this contribution aims at questioning what the child does to political exile, what the child’s testimony brings.

Delphine Diaz : Mobilizing for Refugee Children in 1914-France
The outbreak of the First World War threw on the roads millions of Belgians and then French people, including many children. In the fall and winter of 1914, two French organizations, one in Lyon (the “Bureau de recherches des réfugiés et des rapatriés belges et français”), the other one in ... (Show more)
The outbreak of the First World War threw on the roads millions of Belgians and then French people, including many children. In the fall and winter of 1914, two French organizations, one in Lyon (the “Bureau de recherches des réfugiés et des rapatriés belges et français”), the other one in Paris (the “Office de renseignement des familles disperses”), attempted to develop new forms of mobilization for children refugees. My paper wants to show how they adopted new methods of identifying unaccompanied minors and how they worked within a transnational network. (Show less)

Antonin Durand : Welcoming Families with Children in Post-1848 Piedmont
After 1848, many insurgents from the Italian peninsula had to flee and to seek refuge in the only State that maintained some of the revolutionary achievements. In the numerous lists of exiles drafted by the Piedmontese Ministry of Police, children are often invisible: only men are listed, but the presence ... (Show more)
After 1848, many insurgents from the Italian peninsula had to flee and to seek refuge in the only State that maintained some of the revolutionary achievements. In the numerous lists of exiles drafted by the Piedmontese Ministry of Police, children are often invisible: only men are listed, but the presence of their wives and the number of their children sometimes appear in the lists. This paper aims at analysing the effect of the presence of children on the Piedmontese asylum policy. Is a man with children more likely to be welcome, all else remaining equal? This general question will be tackled from a statistical and qualitative point of view, with a special attention paid to the way children were used in petitions send by the exiles to the authorities.

Alexandre Frondizi : Indicted Children, Transported Children, Exiled Children in France between 1848 and 1871 : towards a Juvenile History of Popular Contention
this paper wishes to question the specificity of youth participation in collective mobilizations as well as the short and medium terms consequences on the lives of the children concerned.

Romy Sanchez : Children and Youngsters in Cuban 19th Century Separatist Exile: Separation, Life Changes and Discrimination through the Age Lens
This paper looks at the role of children and young people within Cuban 19th-Century Separatist exiles, mainly in Europe and the US. This heterogeneous group of anti-imperial creole fleeing the Spanish Island both forced and voluntarily, includes families and even isolated children, teenagers, and youngsters. Even though sources are scarce ... (Show more)
This paper looks at the role of children and young people within Cuban 19th-Century Separatist exiles, mainly in Europe and the US. This heterogeneous group of anti-imperial creole fleeing the Spanish Island both forced and voluntarily, includes families and even isolated children, teenagers, and youngsters. Even though sources are scarce for this part of the anti-Spanish exile group, this study will show how diverse social and racial conditions among these younger exiles can explain the different impact of exile in their lives. Young banished and especially non-white ones are barely considered as children in the rare sources mentioning them, whereas middle and upper class exiles give some examples of “exiled childhood”, with children’s lives transformed but still considered in their non-adult sphere.
