Long Read - Windrush's 'Barrel Children'

For this Long Read, we head to The Independent for "Barrel Children: Windrush families and the emotional burden of migration" By Nadine White. The piece explores the rarely talked about 'Barrel Children', Caribbean children that got flown out to Britain when not growing up with their parents. The variety of shocks, from location change to literally getting to know their parents for the first time, would give most children long-term trauma.
