Abstract
AbstractThis Short Reader presents a pathway through the vast and rich social-scientific literature that exists on home and migration from various perspectives, doing so through an innovative theoretical lens that incorporates the concepts of intersectionality and ‘structural im/possibility’. This introductory chapter firstly outlines some of the key conceptual principles emerging from contemporary social-scientific literature on home and migration, and then goes on to present an intersectional and structural conceptual framework for reading migration-and-home scholarship, centred on the concept of structural im/possibilities of home-in-migration. The final part of the chapter presents some reflections by the authors on their own home-in-migration biographies and provides an overview of the structure of the book.
