Childhood, 15(1), 12-29. doi: 10.1177/0907568207086833http://hdl.handle.net/11244/25189This study examines the formulation of national identity in Palestinian children by exploring their understanding of its paradoxes. Twelve Palestinian children were interviewed from cities, villages and refugee camps in the West Bank. The children express the multiple dimensions of national identity in terms of self and other; however these expressions are fragmented in nature. Furthermore, the findings indicate that national identity highlights children as geopolitical agents, rather than separate entities defined by time.en-USchildrengeopoliticalidentity ideologynationalPalestineResearch Article10.1177/0907568207086833false
