Download or read book Migration and the Search for Home written by Paolo Boccagni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impact of transnational migration on the views, feelings, and practices of home among migrants. 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.

Download or read book In Search of Home written by Kaveri Haritas and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Search of Home explores new, yet less explored space of urban poverty – rehabilitation housing that houses the displaced poor and increasingly dots the peripheries of Indian cities. It examines the politics of the poor focusing on law, citizenship and gender. Contesting the assumption that illegalities emerge due to lack of legal rights to property, this ethnography of the everyday narrates how the rehabilitated poor despite legal residence experience 'citizenship in limbo', suspended between an illegal past and an imagined future of full citizenship. The book details the flexible governance of such neighbourhoods, studying how the state produces illegalities, and how state institutions and actors stand to gain. By looking at how systemic corruption draws urban poor groups into webs of exchanges with the state, de-radicalising and co-opting the poor, it exposes the gendered underbelly of urban poor struggles, uncovering the role women play in eliciting the paternalism of the state.

Download or read book The Search for Home among Forced Migrants and Refugees written by Maria Sophia Aguirre and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role of “home” in the lives of displaced people, including voluntary and forced migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people, and temporary workers. For displaced people, home is something lost, longed for, and sometimes found anew. It is a community of people in an environment of relationships and a physical dwelling that provide a sense of safety, security, hope, and belonging. Much of the efforts of refugees, migrants and exiles are devoted to rebuilding a home, through a combination of personal effort and collaboration with the political and social environment of the host community. Aguirre and Argandoña bring together an interdisciplinary collection of contributors to analyse these challenges through the lenses of economics, law, sociology, psychology, communications, management and political science. The book offers numerous suggestions for assistance aimed not only at the short-term problems of displaced people, but also at ensuring their human dignity. This volume will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of the sociology of migration and of public policy related to the handling of migrants.

Download or read book A Pioneer s Search for an Ideal Home written by Phoebe Goodell Judson and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phoebe Judson was a young bride in 1853 when she and her husband crossed the plains from Ohio to the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory. She was ninety-five when this book was first published in 1925. The years between were spent in “a pioneer’s search for an ideal home” and in living there, when it was finally found at the head of the Nooksack River, almost on the Canadian border. Phoebe Judson’s account of the journey west is based on daily diary entries detailing her fear, excitement, and exhaustion. At the end of the trail, the Judsons encountered hardships aplenty, causing them to abandon a farm and business in Olympia before their arrival in the Nooksack Valley. During the Indian Wars they holed up in a fort at Claquato. In time, Phoebe overcame her fear of the Indians, learned the Chinook language, and won their friendship. All this is told in vivid detail by a woman of great dignity and charm whom readers will long remember. Susan Armitage, professor of history at Washington State University, calls A Pioneer’s Search for an Ideal Home a “classic pioneering account,” important for its woman’s point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an exploration of the intersections between the search for home and a deeper desire for spirituality in Frederick Buechner's "The Book of Bebb." Throughout this series of four novels, the characters are constantly searching for a sense of home, and the following two-part question had prompted this project: where do the characters in Buechner's "The Book of Bebb" find elements of "home" on earth, and do their searches reflect a spiritual search? The characters search for this elusive sense of "home" in many different ways, some of which satisify parts of their search and some which do not, but all of which contribute to the idea that there is an ideal home somewhere that cannot be reached in the here and now. Through particular place and in community, characters are able to gain glimpses of home in the "already" while the elements of journey and imagination signify the longing the characters still feel for the "not yet." The search for "home" leads characters in"The Book of Bebb" to aspects of fulfillment here on earth which are in reality reflections of God and one's ultimate home with God. It is by entering into and learning to live in the tension between feeling at home in the "already" and feeling homesick for the "not yet" that the characters in "The Book of Bebb" parallel the tension that Christians have felt for millennia. This parallel can help explain the longing of the characters in "The Book of Bebb" as a longing for God, and recognizing this leaves those characters more open to Christian spirituality.

The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Cognition contains sections on perception and illusion, attention and search, memory processes, spatial cognition, conceptualization and categorization, problem solving and behavioral flexibility, and social cognition processes including findings in primate tool usage, pattern learning, and counting. The authors have incorporated findings and theoretical approaches that reflect the current state of the field. This comprehensive volume will be a must-read for students and scientists who want to know about the state of the art of the modern science of comparative cognition.
