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.
