As we grapple with a growing refugee crisis, a hardening of
anti-immigration sentiment, and deepening communal segregation in
many parts of the developed world, questions of the nature of home
and homemaking are increasingly critical. This collection brings
ethnographic insight into the practices of homemaking, exploring a
diverse range of contexts ranging from economic migrants to new
Chinese industrial cities, Jewish returnees from Israel to Ukraine,
and young gay South Asians in London. While negotiating widely
varying social-political contexts, these studies suggest an
unavoidably multiple understanding of home, while provoking new
understandings of the material and symbolic process of making
oneself “at home.”
