Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book reconnoitres my migration experience to Europe from an anthropological perspective. It answers two key questions: What are the sources of Imaginations of diasporic livability How is liminality experienced in migration situations The book is targeted at researchers and academics interested in fathoming post-modern approaches to research, including studies of 'selves', but also appeals, in its simplistic narrative genre, to non academic audiences who can easily relate to a migration story, possibly similar to their own. I gathered that the family and society, economy, and politics were central in (re) shaping my imaginations of diasporic livability. Moreover, I engaged in certain activities or rituals such as creating friendships, communicating with family back home, changing my lifestyle abroad and taking time to travel, as a response to my liminal condition, subsuming from emigrating from my home country, but neither fully integrating to Europe. With this book, I argue that boundaries of the lifer-course or diverse migration experiences in particular, are rich with cultural data available to researchers to interpret, analyse and narrate in multifarious ways.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.
