Descripción
Sumario:"Based on thorough ethnographic fieldwork in a refugee camp in Tanzania this book provides a rich account of the benevolent dìsciplining mechanisms' of humanitarian agencies and of the situated, dynamic, indeterminate and fluid nature of identity (re)construction in the camp. While the refugees are expected to behave as innocent, helpless victims, the question of victimhood among Burundian Hutu is increasingly challenged following the 1993 massacres in Burundi and the Rwandan genocide. The book explores the ambiguity surrounding these questions of innocence and victimhood and shows how young men within the camp apply different strategies to cope amidst the struggle to recuperate their masculinity and their political subjectivity."--Book jacket.
