Key aspects of home and belonging
Migrants often maintain a dual sense of belonging, feeling connected to both their origin and host countries.** This duality reflects the “in-between” nature of transnational identities, shaped by feelings of displacement, nostalgia, and the practical realities of resettlement.
The experiences of home are deeply shaped by intersections of gender, class, race, and power dynamics. **For instance, unpaid domestic work by female migrants plays a significant role in the construction of homes, yet it remains undervalued. Refugees, exiles, and elite migrants experience “home” differently due to varying power structures.
Migrants’ sense of home is not merely shaped by their physical surroundings but also by aspirations, memories, and desires.** Nostalgic memories and symbolic connections to the homeland coexist with the practical challenges of creating a new home.
Migrants often maintain active ties with their countries of origin, shaping hybrid identities and sometimes limiting full integration into host societies**. These transnational connections provide emotional support but can also reinforce socioeconomic divides and cultural enclaves.
Migrants use storytelling to reconcile their past and present, crafting a sense of home that integrates old and new experiences.** These narratives help them navigate complex identities and cultural dislocations.
