This book explores the impact of transnational migration on the views, feelings, and practices of home among migrants. Home is usually perceived as what placidly lies in the background of everyday life, yet migrants' experience tells a different story: what happens to the notion of home, once migrants move far away from their "natural" bases and search for new ones, often under marginalized living conditions? The author analyzes in how far migrants' sense of home relies on a dwelling place, intimate relationships, memories of the past, and aspirations for the future-and what difference these…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This book explores the impact of transnational migration on the views, feelings, and practices of home among migrants. Home is usually perceived as what placidly lies in the background of everyday life, yet migrants' experience tells a different story: what happens to the notion of home, once migrants move far away from their "natural" bases and search for new ones, often under marginalized living conditions? The author analyzes in how far migrants' sense of home relies on a dwelling place, intimate relationships, memories of the past, and aspirations for the future-and what difference these factors make in practice. Analyzing their claims, conflicts, and dilemmas, this book showcases how in the migrants' case, the sense of home turns from an apparently intimate and domestic concern into a major public question.

Rezensionen
"It is clearly more oriented to academic audience (students and scholars) than to policy makers. The book is indeed a welcomed contribution in the field of migration studies, where the focus on mobility and need to migrate tends to overlook the need of home and belonging." (Anna Virkama, Nordic Journal of Migration Research NJMR, Vol. 9 (2), 2019)
"In this engaging book, Paolo Boccagni asks about the meaning of home for people who have decided to leave their previous home and settle in a new place. ... Boccagni's book is a great and important read on the migration-home nexus. It will be of high interest to students and scholars alike who work on migration, home and transnationalism." (Christine Barwick, Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, January, 2018)

"Paolo Boccagni introduces a new research agenda by studying migrants' search for home through homing and the migration-home nexus. ... Thisbook is an important contribution to complex debates on home, migrant home-making, and homing. The introductory and concluding chapters help to underscore the relationships between place and the construction(s) of home. The book will be valuable to scholars looking to understand and heighten awareness on the home and issues of migrant homes." (Charishma Ratnam, Emotion, Space and Society, July, 2017)

"Migration and the Search for Home does much to broaden and enrich our understandings of the home-migration nexus. ... this book provides a major contribution to research across home and migration studies. The book goes beyond mapping theoretical and empirical approaches to migrant homing, providing a useful methodological and conceptual toolkit that will further develop the home-migration nexus as a research field." (Annabelle Wilkins, Migration Studies, 2017)
