This book lays out a framework for understanding connections
between home and mobility, and situates this within a
multidisciplinary field of social research. The authors show how
the idea of home offers a privileged entry point into forced
migration, diversity and inequality. Using original fieldwork, they
adopt an encompassing lens on labour, family and refugee flows,
with cases of migrants from Latin America, Africa and the Indian
subcontinent. With the book structured around these key topics, the
authors look at how practices of home and mobility emerge along
with emotions and manifold social processes. In doing so, their
scope shifts from the household to streets, neighbourhoods, cities
and even nations. Yet, the meaning of 'home' as a lived experience
goes beyond place; the authors analyse literature on migration and
mobility to reveal how the past and future are equally projected
into imaginings of home.
