Legacies of Forced Removals in South Africa : Children and Childhoods in Temporary Relocation Areas in the Western Cape
This book contributes to an international literature on children and childhood studies by providing a variety of lenses through which we can further explore children’s reflections about the worlds they inhabit.Through documentation of the reflections of life in a temporary relocation camp of six children, the research findings show the slippages in governance in post-apartheid South Africa, revealing howover-determining structures of oppression, shaped by histories of violence remain as hauntings in the lived experience of those on the margins of the state.In this way, the book offers testament to the lasting impact apartheid has left on South Africa’s populations.The stories of these children offer testament to a fluidity of identifications and repressions that criss-cross notions of what it is to be a citizen, a child, youth or adult in sites of frequent forced mobility.

Which wind direction: west wind or east wind?
The direction of the wind depends on the location of the observer. In general, a west wind blows from the west to the east, while an east wind blows from the east to the west. In the Northern Hemisphere, a west wind typically brings milder and moister air, while an east wind can bring colder and drier air. In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite is true. The specific effects of west and east winds can vary depending on local geography and weather patterns.

Can wind turbines align themselves with the wind?
Yes, modern wind turbines are equipped with technology that allows them to align themselves with the wind. This is typically achieved through a combination of sensors, motors, and control systems that can adjust the orientation of the turbine blades to optimize their angle in relation to the wind direction. By continuously monitoring the wind and making real-time adjustments, wind turbines can maximize their energy production efficiency. This ability to self-align with the wind helps to ensure that wind turbines are able to capture as much energy as possible from the wind.
-
Why are wind turbines shut down when wind speeds are low?
Wind turbines are shut down when wind speeds are low because they are not able to generate enough power to make their operation cost-effective. When wind speeds are low, the turbines are not able to spin fast enough to generate significant electricity. In addition, low wind speeds can also cause the turbines to wear out faster due to the stress of trying to operate at low speeds. Therefore, shutting down the turbines during low wind speeds helps to preserve their longevity and efficiency.

What are wind gaps?
Wind gaps are geological features formed by the erosion of a river or stream that once flowed through a mountain range. As the river erodes the rock, it creates a gap or notch in the mountain range. Over time, the river may change course or dry up, leaving behind a gap that is now crossed by a road or trail. Wind gaps are often characterized by a V-shaped notch in the mountain range and can provide important clues about the geological history of an area.

Can the wind freeze?
No, the wind itself cannot freeze. Wind is the movement of air, and while the temperature of the air can certainly be cold enough to freeze, the wind itself is simply the movement of that air. However, strong winds can contribute to the wind chill effect, making it feel much colder than the actual air temperature.
-
How does wind form?
Wind is formed by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which creates differences in air pressure. As the warm air rises, it creates a low-pressure area, and the cooler air rushes in to fill the void, creating wind. The Earth's rotation also plays a role in the formation of wind, as it causes the wind to curve and create different wind patterns around the globe.
-
What is wind energy?
Wind energy is a renewable energy source that harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity. This is typically done using wind turbines, which have large blades that spin and convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power is then converted into electricity through a generator. Wind energy is considered a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, as it produces no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants.
-
What drives wind turbines?
Wind turbines are driven by the force of the wind. When the wind blows, it causes the turbine's blades to rotate. This rotation turns a generator inside the turbine, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. The speed and consistency of the wind are crucial factors in determining the efficiency and output of a wind turbine.
