In this article, we show how generation as a category is an important analytic for understanding social and political dynamics in Honduras. We argue that coming of age in the post‐coup d’état era in Honduras has shaped young Honduran's sense of their own life chances, what they can expect from society and government, and what kinds of possibilities they imagine for their futures. Drawing from ethnography conducted in Honduras and with Hondurans during the 2018 and 2019 migrant caravans, we show how the category of youth is a potential source of risk for the regime in Honduras and, simultaneously, it puts those who are in it at risk. The article concludes with reflections on the legal limitations of generation as category and the lethal consequences of this limitation.

政变的产生：洪都拉斯青年处于危险之中并处于危险之中

在本文中，我们展示了如何将发电作为一个类别来理解洪都拉斯的社会和政治动态。我们认为，洪都拉斯政变后时代的成熟已经塑造了洪都拉斯年轻一代对自己的生活机会的感觉，他们对社会和政府的期望以及他们对未来的想象的可能性。我们从洪都拉斯以及与洪都拉斯人进行的2018年和2019年移民大篷车上进行的人种志研究中，我们了解到青年类别如何成为洪都拉斯政权潜在的风险来源，同时也使处于困境中的人处于危险之中。文章最后总结了对作为类别的发电的法律限制以及这种限制的致命后果。
