After six decades of protracted refugeehood, patterns of social identification
are changing among the young people of the fourth refugee generation in the
Palestinian refugee camp Burj al-Shamali in Southern Lebanon. Though their
identity as Palestinian refugees remains the same compared to older refugee
generations, there is an important shift in the young refugees’ relationship
towards the homeland, their status as refugees, Islam, the camp society, as
well as in their relationship towards religious or ethnic “others” in and
outside Lebanon. This ePaper examines how technology, globalisation and
outside influences have impacted the young Palestinians’ interpretation of
their identity and their understanding of Palestinianness. The author
concludes with reflections on the young refugees’ attitudes towards their
Palestinian identity in the diaspora, which, as she argues, can only survive
when the young refugees see their identity as a virtue rather than as a
hindrance.
