Geopolitical lives of children – commentary to Habashi

Abstract

I write this piece as a commentary to Habashi’s article (this issue) on the national identity of Palestinian children. Habashi reminds us here that national identities are not static and fixed and that children need to be considered as active agents in constructing and reconstructing national and global politics. I take her long-standing commitment to Palestinian children’s narratives of their own geopolitical worlds to consider the geopolitical lives of children in my own home country – Bosnia and Herzegovina.
