Being Human, Being Migrant

Senses of Self and Well-Being

Herausgeber: Grønseth, Anne Sigfrid

Beschreibung

Unique in its focus on how ethnographic face-to-face studies of migration display a specific way of being human as it highlights being between cultural truths and familiar contexts for relations of self, others and the world. Employs and develops novel concepts that contribute to our understanding of self, well-being and agency. Original in its studies of migrants' daily life calls for knowledge that can stimulate peaceful co-existence in a world characterised by crises of migration, globalisation, war and conflict.
