Thoughts and feelings about home traditionally provided people of
all cultures with a firm sense of where they belonged, and why. But
with the world rapidly changing, many of our basic notions are
becoming problematic. Both internationally and within countries,
populations are constantly on the move, seeking better
opportunities and living conditions, or an escape from violence and
war. In spite of, or perhaps even because of these trends, ideas
about home continue to shape the way people everywhere frame an
understanding of their lives. In this Very Short Introduction
Michael Allen Fox considers the complex meaning of home and the
essential importance of place to human psychology. Drawing on a
wide array of international examples he discusses what dwelling is
and the variety of dwellings. Fox also looks at the politics of the
concept of 'home', homelessness, refugeeism and migration, and the
future of home, and argues that home remains a central organizing
concept in human life. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
