It analyses their ideas of connecting and belonging; their accounts of the past, the present and the future; the interaction and networks of relations; practical strategies; and the different meanings of ‘home’ and belonging that are constructed in new sociocultural settings. The author uses empirical research to explore the experiences of refugees from the successor states of Yugoslavia, who are struggling to make a home for themselves in Amsterdam and Rome. By explaining how real people navigate through the difficulties of their displacement as well as the numerous scenarios and barriers to their emplacement, the author sheds new light on our understanding of what it is like to be a refugee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThis book provides excellent and much needed insights into the lives of refugees in general, and those from the former Yugoslavia in particular.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cstrong\u003e  ·  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eH-Urban\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“By focusing on meanings and practices of home making among refugees from former Yugoslavia in Rome and Amsterdam, Korac’s book invites readers to rethink the experience of displacement\/emplacement as a complex and interconnected set of processes that produces a pluralization of identities and solidarities. This insightful perspective - overlooked in dominant institutional approaches to ‘integration’ and in a significant part of the academic literature too often driven by donors’ policy agendas and inclined toward some form of methodological nationalism - represents both a valuable contribution to the debate and an invitation to explore further the relationship between different scales of refugee governance and processes of ‘nesting’.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cstrong\u003e  ·  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJournal of Refugee Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThis book – based on ethnographic qualitative research and sensitivity to cultural complexity and human resourcefulness, combining comprehensively and comparatively search material with theoretical reflections on migration cultural processes – is a valuable contribution to the ever growing migration studies literature and to our understanding of current European cultural and social tensions.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cstrong\u003e  ·  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnthropological Notebooks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction: Reconstructing Life, Place and Identity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tProblems with Centring on the State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tRethinking Refugeehood: Focusing on Processes, Intersections and Agency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tLiminality and Refugee Agency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tLived-In Worlds of Refugees: From Contexts to Processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tPolicy ‘Solutions’ and Types of Agency They Engender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tA Note on Method: Focus on Refugee Voices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \t\tAn Outline of the Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.
