Legacies of Forced Removals in South AfricaChildren and Childhoods in Temporary Relocation Areas in the Western Cape\nAuthor(s): Efua Tembisa Prah\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Anthem Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Anthem Press\nISBN-13: 9781839982668, 978-1839982668\nSynopsis\nThis book contributes to an international literature on children and childhood studies by providing a variety of lenses through which we can further explore childrens reflections about the worlds they inhabit. Through documentation of the reflections of life in a temporary relocation camp of six children, the research findings show the slippages in governance in post-apartheid South Africa, revealing howover-determining structures of oppression, shaped by histories of violence remain as hauntings in the lived experience of those on the margins of the state. In this way, the book offers testament to the lasting impact apartheid has left on South Africas populations. The stories of these children offer testamen.
