- The only text available that can be used as a productive introduction and framework for teaching, learning about and researching home.
- Written in a manner that is well received and accessible to undergraduates, yet also contains sophisticated ideas for researchers.
- New edition will retain and further develop its core argument about a critical geography of home
- It will significantly update the references, examples, research boxes and illustrations in each chapter, critically engaging with the wide cross-disciplinary range of research in this field since its publication.
- The second edition will address existing and new themes in greater depth, including home and temporality, the `un-making´ of home, home beyond the West, and home and religion.
- It will also include a new chapter on `Home and the city,´
- New research boxes throughout the book will highlight recent and ongoing doctoral and postdoctoral research on home. A new cover image will better reflect the book´s content and make it clear that it is a second edition.

Home articulates a `critical geography of home´ in which home is understood as an emotive place and spatial imaginary that encompasses lived experiences of everyday, domestic life alongside a wider, and often contested, sense of being and belonging in the world. Engaging with the burgeoning cross-disciplinary interest in home since the first edition was published, this significantly revised and updated second edition contains new research boxes, illustrations, and contemporary examples throughout. It also adds a new chapter on `Home and the City´ that extends the scalar understanding of home to the urban.
The book develops the conceptual and methodological underpinnings of a critical geography of home, drawing on key feminist, postcolonial, and housing thinkers as well as contemporary methodological currents in non-representational thinking and performance. The book´s chapters consider the making and unmaking of home across the domestic scale – house-as-home; the urban – city-as-home; national – nation-as-home; and homemaking in relation to transnational migration and diaspora. Each chapter includes illustrative examples from diverse geographical contexts and historical time periods. Chapters also address some of the key cross-cutting dimensions of home across these scales, including digital connectivity, art and performance, more-than-human constructions of home, and violence and dispossession. The book ends with a research agenda for home in a world of COVID-19.
The book provides an understanding of home that has three intersecting dimensions: that material and imaginative geographies of home are closely intertwined; that home, power, and identity are intimately linked; and that geographies of home are multi-scalar. This framework, the examples used to illustrate it, and the intended audience of academics and students across the humanities and social sciences will together shape the field of home studies into the future.
