Waite, LJ and Cook, J (2011) Belonging among diasporic African communities in the UK: Plurilocal homes and simultaneity of place attachments. Emotion, Space and Society, 4 (4). 238 - 248 (11). ISSN 1755-4586
Abstract
This paper compares the emotional attachments to place(s) of first and second generation African migrants in the UK. Qualitative studies from the field of migration studies have tended to examine generational cohorts in isolation from one another rather than alongside each other. Through exploring the emotional attachments to place(s) of first and second generation Zimbabwean, Somali, Sudanese and Kenyan migrants, the paper interprets the emotions associated with senses of belonging through ideas of plurilocal homes and simultaneity of attachments to different places.
