Summary: Furthermore, this new generation and especially the children of refugee parents, has developed a rich repertoire of stories related to the occupied areas and life before 1974. These stories have in many instances become the stepping stone for students to engage in a larger globalized discourses that allow them to articulate issues of struggle and human rights in transcending the island boundaries. On the other hand, this globalized exploration has given rise to tensions between these global discourses and the older generation's expectations from the students. This, I argue, can exemplify a new order of imagination in state formation.
