Abstract
Unaccompanied minors fleeing after the Hungarian anti-Soviet uprising of 1956 are the focus of Chapter 4, while Chapter 5 follows the children who left Cuba in the wake of Castro's rise to power in 1959. [...]only select groups of children have gained entry to the US, their arrival then used to propagandize the nation's benevolence. Mexican and Central American children fell victim to sexual violation and assaults at the hands of law enforcement officials and gang members.
