ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the significance of inter-generational dynamics in the context of children's, adolescents' and adults' negotiation of religious identity, belief and practice through diverse processes of migration and different stages of migrants' lifecycles. It illustrates both the heterogeneity of children's and adults' experiences of migration and a selection of common concerns vis--vis religious identity, belief and practice emerging across all three research sites. The chapter is based around three case-studies which centralize the heterogeneity of children's experiences of migration in line with Hemming and Madge's proposal that multiple case-study work is one of the best ways of adequately reflecting' the varied and changing contexts within which' children and youths negotiate their position. The case-studies demonstrate the variety of statuses and categories which children, adolescents and their families from the MENA region may embody and be forced to accept, through different processes and stages of migration, including a range of in-between statuses and identities.
