Author Description

The book explores the effect that migrations have on constitution of 'selves' and 'others' in relation to 'home'. The essential point relates to the fact that globalisation, transnationalism and the concomitant creation of transnational social spaces have greatly affected the meaning of home for contemporary migrants and have consequently influenced their construction of identity. Accordingly, migrants tend to experience home as multi-dimensional, pluri-local, and characterized by regular movement across the state borders.
