Week 4: Resilience in Children Exposed to War and Political Violence

This module highlights what has been learned about the effects of war, terror, and political violence on children and youth. What are the effects of these violent experiences on young people? What has been learned about resilience? We will examine the provocative literature on youth who voluntarily get involved in political conflicts or war. The concluding lecture considers new approaches to peace-building and what might be done to promote peace through interventions with children. This week also features 4 special topics on resilience in young people who experienced the trauma of war and conflict. Choose one or more of the special topics and watch these moving stories of survival. Post your thoughts in the special topics discussion forums on each of these options. If you have time, watch them all. These accounts of resilience are very compelling.

There's something very powerful about telling the story of a survivor of

war, and terror.

And in this segment where I want to talk about, examples: where children and

young people have told their story through films, and books, and other media.

There are a lot of books that tell the story of child survivors of various wars,

and conflicts, and I want to show you a few, but

what I'm hoping is that the members of this course will offer up

other examples by communicating on our website of.

Books, films, and stories that they think are very compelling that they

recommend to other members of the class.

One that I think is extraordinary is a book called "The Girl in the Picture".

And the girl, the title refers to a famous photograph.

The photograph of Kim Phuc here.

Who, which was taken during Vietnam war,

shortly after she was accidentally hit by Napalm.

Napalm was dropped on a village, and

many people were burned in the village including this child.

And this photograph appeared in newspapers all over the world.

The photographer won a pullets of price for this photograph, but I think it's

important to know that he did stop, and help this child, and she was badly burned,

but she survived, and grew up, and eventually moved to Canada,

where she raised a family, and as far as I know still lives.

Another book that is very powerful that we talked about before.

This one is about Cambodia.

And what happened during the Khmer Rouge years,

what is often called the killing fields.

This is a story that is written by JoAn Criddle, but

it tells the story of Teeda Butt Mam.

And the title of this one to destroy you is no loss refers to

a motto of the Comer Rouge.

But this child was a teenage girl during the war, and she was made to

work in a work camp, but she did survive, and made her way eventually into Thailand,

and later on into the United States, where she was able to tell her story and

help collaborate with Joanne Kridel to produce two books about her story,

another two books about Cambodian experiences and

growing up under the Combier rouge, are these two, When Broken Glass Floats,

and When First They Killed My Father, these are also very powerful accounts.

Of what happened during this terrible period of genocide.

And another one I wanted to specifically mention is

A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Child Soldier.

This is a very powerful story written by Ishmael Beah.

And I'm going to have you, listen to Ishmael talk about his life and

writing this book through watching some of the video that is available online.

But this is a striking portrait of what it was like to be.

Part of, a, a guerrilla warfare as a child soldier.

And then the process of how he recovered afterwards.

He went to Oberlin College in the United States and

wrote this book while he was still in college.

Another book that's very powerful, a more recent one,

is the book, I Am Malala, about the.

Child who was shot by the Taliban because she stood up for

education of girls in Pakistan.

There's also a lot of documentary films about

child survivors of war that are out there.

I've listed several examples here.

One that we have available, that I'm going to point you to on our website for

the course, is called Ida's Story.

This one goes back to World War I,

and the persecution of Jewish families in the Ukraine.

It's the story about seven children who were a, survived.

But they witnessed a lot of killing.

Their father was killed.

Their mother died of the 1918 flu epidemic.

And the seven children wandered around in

the Ukraine hiding from the Cossacks who were trying to kill.

Jewish families at that time.

And Ida was an 8 year old girl, the story is told through her eyes, but

this documentary is very compelling because Ida was

in her 90s when she told her story in this documentary.

And I never met her, but

I think when you watch the documentary you can get a sense of her personality.

And I did help with this documentary.

I provide commentary about this young persons resilience,

based on the story I was told, and I hope you'll watch the whole thing, but

particularly the account Ida provides of the traumatic, the trauma of seeing her.

Young cousins killed right in front of her when the conflict first broke out.

Another story that I think is very powerful is the accounts of

the Lost Boys of Sudan.

And there was a wonderful documentary that was made by Megan.

My land following two of these lost boys into the United States and

tells their story.

But what I'm going to have you watch during this course is a accounts of

the lost boys that are available on 60 minutes, and what's nice about this,

these, stories is that the 60 minutes episodes.

They had originally told the story of this, of the lost boys.

And then they followed up again 12 years later.

But the film makers, the, the document, documentary makers that worked for

60 Minutes, were very en, ca, captured by the stories of these boys.

They became friends with them.

And that comes across.

And there's three short clips.

I'd like you to watch at least one, but I hope you'll watch all three.

Each one is, is quite brief, and tells a very compelling story of

the life history of these boys who were victims of war.

Another kind of information available online, is the many interviews that

are done, that you can watch in various internet places on, on your computer.

And two that I want, to, you to watch, this week to hear the voices of

children are interviews with Ishmael Beah,

who was the child soldier and wrote this book, and there's several great

interviews with him, online; that you can easily find, I'm going to point you.

To two of them.

One is from a CNN show, African Voices.

And another one is a fairly recent interview done in early 2014,

because he has published another book.

And he was interviewed on the Colbert Report for that book.

I also want to have you watch Malala talking about her life, and

what happened to her.

She began appearing on shows after she recovered, and

this there are several great interviews with her.

And you can go looking for

some, but I'll point you to several that I think are very compelling.

So you can get, listen to her tell her story.

And that I think it's very important to, before we begin to look more closely at

the research on recovery, and resilience, and

children who experience war in terror, that you listen to the voice.

Of the children and young people themselves speaking out in these films and

in video that you can watch online.

So, listen to these children, I think they have a very, very important message for

all of us.
