Many believed the twentieth century would be the century of the
child: an era in which modern societies would value and protect
children, sheltering them from violence and poverty. Yet this
hopeful vision was marred by the harsh realities of migration,
displacement, and armed conflict. Small Stories of War grapples
with the meanings and memories of childhood and wartime by asking
new questions about lived experience. Spanning the First World War
to the early twenty-first century and featuring chapters about
Canada, Australia, Germany, the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and
northern Uganda, this volume asks how young people encountered and
responded to armed conflict. How did children, youth, and their
families make sense of war in the violent twentieth century? How
have they shared their stories and experiences of violence and
trauma? Analyzing a broad range of sources including family
letters, oral history, and children’s artwork, contributors offer
important insights into the production of historical knowledge with
and about young people. Engaging with cutting-edge debates about
emotions, temporality, space, and young people as political actors,
Small Stories of War offers compelling new research and an
interpretive toolkit that will benefit scholars from across the
social sciences and humanities.
