The book is the first in-depth anthropological exploration of the existential quality of place in the context of displacement.
It’s experience-near perspective on displacement by zooming in on the life stories and experiences of three individuals.
It revalidates the role of place in a hypermobile, globalized world.
It develops a unique approach to storytelling and lived experience.
