Horizons of Home: Nation, Gender and Migrancy in Island Southeast Asia (Annual Indonesia Lecture Series)

"Mobility and migration, hardly new phenomena in Southeast Asia, raise intriguing questions about experiences of place, home and belonging. The term 'homeland' can refer to the modern nation of citizenship, but often 'homelands' may be places of origin socially memorialised in people's lives in far-distant locations. 'Homeland' may even refer to a sense of belonging painfully re-worked with respect to these new locations. The essays in this volume contribute to developing an understanding of how 'horizons of home' - spatial, temporal and political - inflect home-making in the present and describe social processes of departure, displacement and emplacement in contemporary island Southeast Asia."--BOOK JACKET.Janet Penny is the author of 'Horizons of Home: Nation, Gender and Migrancy in Island Southeast Asia (Annual Indonesia Lecture Series)', published 2008 under ISBN 9781876924294 and ISBN 1876924292.
