Love and its attendant emotions not only spur migration—they
forge our response to the people who leave their homes in search of
new lives. Emotional Landscapes looks at the power of love, and the
words we use to express it, to explore the immigration experience.
The authors focus on intimate emotional language and how languages
of love shape the ways human beings migrate but also create meaning
for migrants, their families, and their societies. Looking at
sources ranging from letters of Portuguese immigrants in the 1880s
to tweets passed among immigrant families in today's Italy, the
essays explore the sentimental, sexual, and political meanings of
love. The authors also look at how immigrants and those around them
use love to justify separation and loss, and how love influences us
to privilege certain immigrants—wives, children, lovers,
refugees—over others. Affecting and perceptive, Emotional
Landscapes moves from war and transnational families to gender and
citizenship to explore the crossroads of migration and the history
of emotion. Contributors: María Bjerg, Marcelo J. Borges,
