Focusing on the experiences of Russian migrants to the United Kingdom, this book explores the connection between migrations, homes and identities. It evaluates several approaches to studying them, and is structured around a series of case studies on attitudes to homemaking, food and cooking, and clothing.
Anna Pechurina is Lecturer in Sociology at Leeds Beckett University, United Kingdom. She researches homes and material cultures in the context of movement and migration. Specifically, she studies the connection between post-socialist migrants' identities, homemaking, and sense of belonging.
