Sommario/riassunto

Home is viewed as a space and place and associated with feelings, practices, and active states of being and moving in the world. This



collection explores how we experience home and what home says about the selves we have become. This book is of interest and use to students and scholars in the fields of communication studies, cultural studies, performance studies, geography, gender studies, diaspora studies, and anthropology, and stands as an exemplar in qualitative, interpretive, critical, and auto-ethnographic methodology courses.
