Produktbeschreibung
Migrating from place to place is a fact of life for
many in today's world. Globalization and increased
interdependence privilege some people to emigrate to
work, study and get new experiences in different
parts of the globe. The children of these mobile
families are called 'third culture kids' (TCKs). This
book aims to find out how a multicultural childhood
affects one's sense of place. The study asks what is
'place for' (meaning of place) and 'place of'
(question of belonging) adult third culture kids.
Also the relationship between place and mobility, as
well as place and memory, are discussed. The
empirical material consists of place memories of
Finnish adult third culture kids. The book is useful
for parents and children of mobile families, staff of
international organizations and companies,
Geographers and Sociologists as well as anyone
interested in the concept of place in a mobile world.
