Frontmatter -- Contents -- Illustrations -- Introduction: Home and Homemaking in a Time of Crisis -- CHAPTER 1 Homing Desires: Queer Young Asian Men in London -- CHAPTER 2 Homeawayness and Life-Project Building: Homemaking among Rural-Urban Migrants in China -- CHAPTER 3 Between a Home and a Homeland: Experiences of Jewish Return Migrants in Ukraine -- CHAPTER 4 Who Makes ‘Old England’ Home? Tourism and Migration in the English Countryside -- CHAPTER 5 Modalities of Space, Time and Voice in Palestinian Hip-Hop Narratives -- CHAPTER 6 My Maluku Manise: Managing Desire and Despair in the Diaspora -- CHAPTER 7 Anecdotes of Movement and Belonging: Intertwining Strands of the Professional and the Personal -- Afterword -- Index
Summary: 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.”
