As we grapple with a growing refugee crisis, a hardening of anti-immigration sentiment, and deepening communal segregation in many parts of the developed world, questions of the nature of home and homemaking are increasingly critical. This collection brings ethnographic insight into the practices of homemaking, exploring a diverse range of contexts ranging from economic migrants to new Chinese industrial cities, Jewish returnees from Israel to Ukraine, and young gay South Asians in London. While negotiating widely varying social-political contexts, these studies suggest an unavoidably multiple understanding of home, while provoking new understandings of the material and symbolic process of making oneself “at home.”

Nicola Frost has a PhD in Social Anthropology from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has conducted fieldwork in Indonesia, Australia and the UK, working on community organization, multiculturalism, and the cultural politics of food and festivals. She has held post-doctoral fellowships at City University London and SOAS and now works for the Devon Community Foundation, where she leads on impact, insight and learning, doing research, data analysis and evaluation.
