In Contested Belonging: Spaces, Practices, Biographies
contributions by well-known international scholars from different
disciplines address the sites, practices, and narratives in which
belonging is imagined, enacted and constrained, negotiated and
contested. Belonging is viewed from the perspectives of both
migrants and refugees in their host countries as well as from
people who are ostensibly 'at home' and yet may experience various
degrees of alienation in their countries of origin. The book
focuses on three particular dimensions of belonging: belonging as
space (neighbourhood, workplace, home), as practice (virtual,
physical, cultural), and as biography (life stories, group
narratives). What role do physical, digital, transnational and
in-between spaces play and how are they used in order to
create/contest belonging? Which practices do people engage in in
order to gain/foster/invent a certain/new sense of belonging? What
can the biographies and narratives of people reveal about their
complicated and contested experiences of belonging? Contested
Belonging: Spaces, Practices, Biographies convincingly shows how
individual and collective struggles for belonging are not only
associated with exclusion and 'othering', but also lead to
surprising and inspiring forms of social action and transformation,
suggesting that there may be more reason for hope than for despair.
