What does it mean to belong in a place, or more than one place?
This exciting new volume brings together work from cutting-edge
interdisciplinary scholars researching home, migration and
belonging, using their original research to argue for greater
attention to how feeling and emotion is deeply embedded in social
structures and power relations. Stories of Cosmopolitan Belonging
argues for a practical cosmopolitanism that recognises relations of
power and struggle, and that struggles over place are often played
out through emotional attachment. Taking the reader on a journey
through research encounters spiralling out from the global city of
London, through English suburbs and European cities to homes and
lives in Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Mexico, the contributors show
ways in which international and intercontinental migrations and
connections criss-cross and constitute local places in each of
their case studies. With a reflection on the practice of 'writing
cities' from two leading urbanists and a focus throughout the
volume on empirical work driving theoretical elaboration, this book
will be essential reading for those interested in the politics of
social science method, transnational urbanism, affective practices
and new perspectives on power relations in neoliberal times. The
international range of linked case studies presented here will be a
valuable resource for students and scholars in sociology,
anthropology, urban studies, cultural studies and contemporary
history, and for urban policy makers interested in innovative
perspectives on social relations and urban form.
