About this product
Product Information
This book is a must read. It helps us better understand what migration means by looking at migrants feelings of home, or their lack thereof ... But the book deserves a wider readership than migration studies since it provides so many new insights in what home is about, productively using the angle of migration. Boccagni is not claiming that we have all become migrants or nomads, but the times of stable homes are over for all of us. Jan Willem Duyvendak, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Paolo Boccagni contributes to developing the prosaic word home and the somewhat less prosaic homing into serviceable concepts to understand the complex processes at play for people who are at once emigrants and immigrants as they come to terms with place in multi-scalar terms. The volume offers a comprehensive and analytically crisp theoretical argument. This is essential reading. Peter Kivisto, Augustana College, USA Boccagni has given us a much needed sociological compass to draw our attention directly to a topic of such import it is usually hidden from view. In his characteristic writing style philosophical, poetic, reflective, insightful, and always engaging, he charts a theoretical and methodological course that promises to permanently locate analyses of home on the migration studies map. Loretta Baldassar, University of Western Australia, Australia This book explores the impact of transnational migration on the views, feelings, and practices of home. Home is usually perceived as what placidly lies in the background of everyday life, yet migrants experience tells a different story. What happens to the notion of home, once migrants move far away from their natural bases and search for new ones, often under marginalized living conditions? The author analyzes in how far migrants sense of home relies on a dwelling place, intimate relationships, memories of the past, and aspirations for the future and what difference these factors make in practice. Analyzing their claims, conflicts, and dilemmas, this book showcases how in the migrants case, the sense of home turns from an apparently intimate and domestic concern into a major public question. Paolo Boccagni is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Trento, Italy. His main research areas are transnational migration, social welfare, care, diversity and home, and his publication record includes articles in "Ethnic and Racial Studies," "Global Networks," "Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies," and "Housing, Theory and Society." He is also Principal Investigator of the European Research Council project HOMInG The home-migration nexus: Home as a window on migrant belonging, integration and circulation (ERC STG 678456, 2016-2021)."

"It would be interesting to see how Wittgenstein's unique style can be derived from a theory-neutral perspective that is perhaps more pragmatic than what was offered by the pragmatists, insofar as it is committed to no theory except to the extent that it helps us to avoid confusions." (Cayla Clinkenbeard, Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal, Vol. 39 (2), 2019)
