Based on fieldwork in a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan, this article describes the engagement of children with projects of nationalism. In their position of marginality to both the Jordanian nation-state and the emerging Palestinian national entity, the children of Hussein Camp are the objects of different visions for their own collective future. The article offers a description of these visions and the ways in which they inform the actions of their proponents. However, the principal focus is upon children as they engage with the discourses presented to them within a particular spatial and historical context.
