As we hear in these comments by two teenagers who have grown up in the shadow of political violence, their generation is aware of the past and its legacies. These brief quotes mention many details that young people in easier situations may not notice: “consequences of the war,” “the influence of the church interfering with the state affairs,” youth responsibility for the future (“some things do depend on us”), and their capacity to contribute to the benefit of society (“we sometimes have ideas that would be good for all people”). These reflections echo the letter we read by Visnja in the Preface, pointing out, ironically, that youth perspectives are usually ignored: “Who would be open to listening to the ‘complaints of youth’ and take them seriously?” On the other hand, those in power are stymied about how to create a future: “The old guard politicians are still shaking their heads, and they tell us ‘it will be better’. … Yeah, right!” Scholars have contributed information about children and youth as the objects of study in situations of political violence, but the literature has offered little from the perspectives of young people themselves.
