Angry young men in camps: gender, age and class relations among Burundian refugees in Tanzania

Listed in ZivaHub and Deakin Research Online and DMU Figshare — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.25446/oxford.33362256.v1

This paper sets out to explore how life in a refugee camp affects gender, age and class relations among Burundian refugees in Tanzania.1 More specifically, it focuses on how the relief operation's policy of equality challenges older hierarchies of authority.

Description

Through an analysis of refugees' representations of gender relations, relations between generations, and relations between peasants and 'big men', it is shown that there is a general feeling of social decay in the camp.

In this situation young men are particularly challenged, as they are at a stage in life where they ought to be finding their place in society as fathers, husbands, protectors and providers; in short: as men.
