Beskrivning
Advancing contemporary scholarly debates on the role of home in understanding displacement and emplacement, A Long Journey Home explores powerful personal narratives from Colombia. The book examines the experiences of those whose sense of home has been disrupted by decades of conflict and violence. It highlights the profound feelings of loss and the enduring struggle of living without a home – an experience that can last for years or even decades. Through these stories, the book reveals how internally displaced people use creativity and imagination to remake their home while on the move.

Recensioner i media

“This is an exceptionally well-conceived and written study about different, yet interrelated, experiences of losing and living without home … it is a beautifully written book.” • Maja Korac, University of Belgrade“This is a rich and deeply moving exploration of the experience of Colombians who were internally displaced during different phases of violence in the country.” • Michelle Obeid, University of Manchester“This is a powerful and moving account of the centrality of home in studies of displacement. Losing the closeness and comfort of the familiar, mourning that loss and trying to recover a sense of home are at the heart of this carefully and lovingly-researched book. Though based on personal narratives from Colombia, the author recounts a story affecting millions of people worldwide.” • Robin Cohen, Professor Emeritus of Development Studies, University of Oxford
