It succeeds in rethinking belonging in the context of the pressing challenges for living together that currently face us. Few sociological tasks are as important." - Dan Woodman, President of The Australian Sociological Association (TASA), University of Melbourne "In a markedly divisive historical moment, this collection of essays on belonging is a welcome intellectual project. Together and independently, the chapters clarify how belonging, a basic element of social life, takes surprisingly complex and multiple forms. From the minds of emergent scholars, this work is both engaging and theoretically sharp." - Dr Jenny Davis, editor of Cyborgology "This timely and exciting collection critically and creatively reframes the nature, discourse, practice and experience of belonging in a time of unprecedented social and material flux. It beautifully and artfully draws on nuanced theoretical insights and empirical case studies from different regions to make a persuasive case for why belonging has become a central social category and political framework in contemporary times. Asking questions of what belonging means, and how it is constantly being transformed by social relations, the book explicates the governance, situatedness and politics of belonging. This collection, authored by some of brightest lights in the discipline of sociology and science and technology studies, is sure to become an essential read for those interested in the human and non-human affects of an unfolding socio-material world that is characterised by explosive geo-physical, political economic and techno-cultural motions." - Dr Gavin Smith, author of Opening the Black Box: The Work of Watching
