by Anya Ahmed
Hardback
- Information
Description
This book is a study of nostalgia, belonging and community which provides a new theoretical framework for understanding retirement migration.
It is the first account of retirement migration that focuses on the voices of retired working-class British women, who are considering either return migration to the UK or permanent/temporary settlement in Spain.
Through a narrative approach, we follow their journeys as they seek, recreate and construct community in a new context and their experiences of belonging and non-belonging are unravelled.
The book offers a critical perspective, challenging positivistic, essentialist definitions of community.
