Final Year Project
Project Title
Where is my Home: Identity, Belonging, and Performativity of Second-Generation Afghan Refugee Youth in Pakistan
Description
Since 1979, mass movements of Afghani refugees have been observed, with Pakistan as their most important destination. In the midst of years of expatriation and then repatriation of refugees, second-generation Afghanis, who now comprise the majority of Afghan refugees in Pakistan, find themselves in a dilemma of “belonging”, as they negotiate their identity. My thesis aims to explore how second-generation Afghan refugees negotiate and perform their identities, and how they conceive the abstract notions of home, homeland, nation, nationhood, citizenship, and the feeling of inclusion and exclusion.
