Ethnographies of Home and Mobility in Europe - A Theoretical Approach to Shifting Roofs

This book lays out a framework for understanding the connections between home and mobilities situating itself this within a multidisciplinary field of social research. The authors show how the idea of home offers a privileged entry point into pressing contemporary topics such as forced migration, diversity and inequality. Using original fieldwork conducted across Europe, the authors consider a comparative approach to such topics as labour, family and refugee flows, with case studies from Latin America, Africa and the Indian subcontinent. With the book structured around these key topics, the authors look at both how ideas of home have been formed, and the emotions and processes that go alongside this. In so doing, the scope widens from the household to streets, neighbourhoods, cities and even nations. Yet place is not the only factor in a consideration of what 'home' means, as the authors analyse literature on migration and mobility to reveal how the past and future are equally projected into imaginings of home.
