N2  - Vicious attacks on persons with albinism for rituals and subsequent lobbying by adults led to recognition of albinism as a disability in Kenya. The disability frame informed policies and programmes developed to safeguard the welfare of persons with albinism. Using generationing as a theoretical lens, this article explores how generational relationships mediate children's experiences of living with albinism in the context of harmful cultural practices, disability politics and adult-defined activism. Three social institutions which structure generational interactions - the family, the school and the state - are analysed. <br><br>FINDINGS suggest that generation is a productive force with important implications for childhood experiences and policy-making.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
