Abstract

The main aim of the recent Handbook on Home and Migration was to overcome the case study-based fragmentation of the discussion on homemaking among people on the move, and to elevate it to a substantive thematic, conceptual and theoretical level. This is a unique and ambitious project led by Boccagni and including 74 book chapter authors from all over the world, representing various disciplines and theoretical traditions. The volume consists of seven parts and 53 chapters and covers a wide range of topics under the conceptual umbrella of the home-mobility nexus.
