Description
Home: A Very Short Introduction explores the complex meaning of home and its significance to human psychology. Michael Allen Fox examines how dwelling and dwellings vary across cultures, as well as the politics surrounding the concept of 'home', homelessness, refugeeism, and migration.
The author draws on international examples to discuss the importance of place in shaping our understanding of life. He argues that home remains a central organizing concept in human life, despite changing global trends and shifting notions of belonging.
