Product Information
Homecomings interrogates ideas, ideals, and practices of home through ethnographic analyses of a wide range of experiences including long and short-term repatriations of war refugees and political exiles as well as the return of people who, acting out the yearnings of diaspora discourse, uprooted themselves from the only places in which they ever lived to resettle in their originary homeland. This volume considers refugees, exiles, and disaporic migrants as well as those who visit an originary site to express conncetions which reside in longing or belonging.Product Identifiers
