Finding Home in Europe
Bringing together the voices of nine individuals from an archive of over 200 in-depth interviews with transnational migrants and refugees across five European countries, Finding Home in Europe critically engages with how home is experienced by those who move. Subaltern migrants and refugees speak out, conceptually engaging with the political strength of their voices as this volume seeks to combat the notion that these people are ‘out of place’ or…
Finding Home in Europe
Bringing together the voices of nine individuals from an archive of over two hundred in-depth interviews with transnational migrants and refugees across five European countries, Finding Home in Europe critically engages with how home is experienced by those who move among changing social and cultural constraints. Highly conscious of the political strength of their voices, migrants and asylum seekers speak out loud to the authors, as this volume s…
Welcome upon Conditions
This chapter builds upon extensive ethnographic research with South Asian diasporas in Britain. To depict and disentangle the complexity of such migrant collectives, three case studies are considered, with different national and religious backgrounds, and diverse times of migration.

At home in the gurdwara? Religious space and the resonance with domesticity in a London suburb
‘Home’, as a special place and a set of practices that separate it from the rest, may ‘scale up’ to the public sphere, particularly among immigrant and religious minorities. Following this insight, we investigate the functional equivalences between domestic space and public, religious one, based on a case study of Sikh gurdwaras in Southall, West London. Besides their everyday function as hubs for spiritual and cultural connections with the Sikh …
Collective thinking in the field
Comment étudier aujourd’hui la mobilité, en pratique ? Les multiples plaidoyers en faveur des ethnographies multi-situées (depuis Marcus, 1995) ont favorisé la multiplication des enquêtes qualitatives internationales ; mais la transnationalisation de méthodes ethnographiques, développées à l’échelle locale, suscite de nouveaux défis. Dans cet article, les membres du projet ERC HOMInG reviennent sur les difficultés rencontrées, et solutions dévelo…
Ethnographies of Home and Mobility
Shifting women
Based on extensive multi-site fieldwork with Punjabi immigrants in Italy, the article discusses the institute of transnational marriage and kin reunification among Indian diasporas, interlacing the drive for upward mobility, the normative frame of family migration and the affective economy in building affinity relations. A household case is considered: the lag between a mother's and her daughter's experience, an Indian pioneer migrant and a 2nd g…
