interrogating Childhood and Diaspora

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The concept of diaspora has opened new ways of scolarly discussions of ethnicity and migration. However the concept has been applied very little to understand childhood and the ways children in ethnic minority groups construct their everyday life and form their identity. This article seeks to start such an analysis based on the theoretical understanding of the competent child who actively contributes to everyday life at home, in school and among friends. The study is based on interviews with young children who live in a Swedish multicultural area and the analysis focuses on issues relating to diasporic consciousness and diasporic practises from a child perspective. The results show how the children negotiate their identity and belongings to places how they make their own distinctions between home and homeland and how they in everyday life actively contribute to sustaining transnational kin networks.

Townships in Transition: Women's Caring Keeps the Township Together
- 2008
-
In: Journal of Southern African Studies. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0305-7070 .- 1465-3893. ; 34:2, s. 255-268
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article is based om a qualitative community study that explores the everyday life of black South African women living in a township on the outskirts of Cape Town. Through the life stories told by the women, their contribution to the townships social fabric becomes apparent. Based on these life stories, an analysis of transitions in the gendered division of labour and more specifically in the gendered division of care as well as transitions in family formation is presented and discussed. Finally the article argues that governmental efforts to improve life in the township through developmental social welfare must be embedded in a deeper understanding of gendered power and must promote caring masculinities if the township community is to keep together.
