Exile Identity, Agency and Belonging in South Africa : The Masupatsela Generation Hardback
by Zosa De Sas Kropiwnicki
Part of the Palgrave Studies on Children and Development series
Hardback
Description
This book examines the experiences of 49 second-generation exiles from South Africa.
Using “generation” as an analytical concept, it investigates the relational, temporal and embodied nature of their childhoods in terms of kinship relations, life cycle, cohort development and memory-making.
It reveals how child agents exploited the liminal nature of exile to negotiate their sense of identity, home and belonging, while also struggling over their position and power in formal Politics and informal politics of the everyday.
It also reflects upon their political consciousness, identity and sense of civic duty on return to post-apartheid South Africa, and how this has led to the emergence of the Masupatsela generational cohort concerned with driving social and political change in South Africa.
