"This book is of great value to housing studies scholars in that it takes on the challenge ofengaging with homes as houses. It is an exemplary demonstration of the deep insight offered bydrawing together the theoretically diverse lenses of cultural capital, the everyday, and materialitiesin the home, through the analysis of rich visual and textual data. In doing this, Levin exploresnew dimensions of migration and settlement. By investigating the homebuilding practices ofthese four groups of migrants, Levin demonstrates the significance of the physical form of housesin migration and settlement processes, and the broader contexts in which houses become homes."Tamlin Gorter, University of Tasmania, Australia, Housing Studies, 2017, VOL. 32, NO . 8, 1178–1182
