| book description |

Home and belonging are at the heart of contemporary politics. This ground-breaking book explores not only how immigrants are received by their host communities but also reveals how they try to create a space of â€˜homeâ€™ in their country of residence. Looking at migration from the cities and villages of Romania to western Ireland, Adam Drazin examines the disillusionments and misunderstandings which surround recent migration flows across Europe. Unlike other studies of migration and mobility, In the Post-Cosmopolitan Home places â€˜homeâ€™ at the center of its analysis and provides a material culture approach to show how changing categories of moral understanding â€“ partly expressed through goods â€“ come to define people and stereotypes. Engaging critically with existing discourses and stereotypes, the book helps us to understand the values which underlie family-oriented migration. An important contribution to one of the biggest challenges facing western countries today, this is essential reading for students and researchers in anthropology, material culture studies, and migration studies.
