Children of the Camp - The Lives of Somali Youth Raised in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya

Informationen zum Autor Catherine-Lune Grayson holds a PhD in Anthropology and is Policy Adviser at the International Committee of the Red Cross. Klappentext Chronic violence has characterized Somalia for over two decades, forcing nearly two million people to flee. A significant number have settled in camps in neighboring countries, where children were born and raised. Based on in-depth fieldwork, this book explores the experience of Somalis who grew up in Kakuma refugee camp, in Kenya, and are now young adults. This original study carefully considers how young people perceive their living environment and how growing up in exile structures their view of the past and their country of origin, and the future and its possibilities. Zusammenfassung This original study carefully considers how young people perceive their living environment and how growing up in exile structures their view of the past and their country of origin, and the future and its possibilities.
