Thinking Home
«
"Thinking Home is an extraordinary collection of thought, emotion, and image depicting the most sacred, common, and elusive space in a human’s life – home. Through social science, humanities, fiction, art, and memoir, the chapters describe experiences that expand ‘home’ from a monolithic version of the idealized space into rooms where conflict, reconciliation, and self-actualization are formed through lived experiences in communities and out of communities in isolation. Highly recommended - Marc Roark, Savannah Law School, USA
The editors have gathered an interesting array of empirical and theoretical contributions, ranging across a wide spectrum of disciplines, which individually offer new and valuable insights. The editors' introductions to each theme , link chapters with the broader issues identified in their overall introduction and create a coherent framework to draw the diverse contributions together. - Ullrich Kockel, Heriot-Watt University, UK
Thinking Home is a brilliantly conceived volume which manages to bring together, seamlessly and cohesively, twelve distinct positions on the notion of home and its many derivatives: homeness, homelessness, home-making, homeland, homesickness, etc. It is a powerful collection of essays that investigates, and indeed thinks deeply of, the human experience of homeliness and unhomeliness and, at the same time, how our position vis-à-vis these concepts defines our very thought and speech. - Marinos Pourgouris, University of Cyprus, Cyprus"
