Abstract:
This article represents the first ever analysis of the generational relations of an otherwise largely neglected group–the GDR children and their children. Their refugee experiences acquire intergenerational meaning through their relations with their children. The way in which the parents experienced displacement and the time of the colonial era resonates through the biographies of the next generation. This study draws parallels between the crises experienced by both generations. Parents and children alike find themselves confronted by structures which distinguish between black and white and which are marked by division and degradation rather than the appreciation of diversity of social roles.
