Chapter 7 in Class Struggle on the Home Front, 2009, pp 155-175 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For migrants, homemaking practices are deeply interwoven with the desire to (re-) produce a sense of belonging, of “a home away from home” (Brah 1996). Rituals of domesticity nurture a feeling of continuity and grounding that helps migrants cope with the personal and collective challenges experienced in the process of settlement.
