"Questions of home and belonging have never been more topical. Populist politicians in both Europe and America play on anxieties over globalisation by promising to reconstitute the national home, through cutting immigration and 'taking back control'. Increasing numbers of young people are unable to afford home-ownership, a trend with implications for the future shape of families and communities. The dominant conceptualisations of home in the twentieth century--the nation-state and the suburban nuclear household--are in crisis, yet they continue to shape our personal and political aspirations. Home: The Foundations of Belonging puts these issues into context by drawing on a range of disciplines to offer a deep anthropological and historical perspective on home. Beginning with a vision of modernity as characterised by both spiralling liminality and an ongoing quest for belonging, it plumbs the archaic roots of Western civilisation and assembles a wide body of comparative anthropological evidence to illuminate the foundations of a sense of home. Home is theorised as a stable centre around which we organise both everyday routines and perspectives on reality, bringing order to a chaotic world and overcoming liminality. Constituted by a set of ongoing processes which concentrate and embody meaning in intimate relationships, everyday rituals and familiar places, a shared home becomes the foundation for community and society. The Foundations of Belonging thus elevates 'home' to the position of a foundational sociological and anthropological concept at a moment when the crisis of globalisation has opened the way to a revaluation of the local."

" Latar Belakang Masalah Australia adalah satu dari beberapa negara tetangga Indonesia yang walaupun secara geografis terletak sangat dekat, tetapi justru kurang dikenal secara mendalam. Meskipun secara geografis letaknya berbatasan dengan Indonesia, namun sejarah Australia mempunyai latar belakang yang berbeda dengan sejarah Indonesia maupun negara tetangga lainnya yang serumpun. Sejarah mencatat bahwa meskipun orang Aborigin adalah penduduk asli Australia, tetapi tidak banyak yang diketahui tentang mereka pada masa awal Australia. Sejarah Australia dimulai dengan kedatangan pemukim kulit putih yang tiba kira-kira 200 tahun yang lalu untuk membuka koloni penjara (penal colony) di benua yang belum lama ditemukan orang kulit putih. Sebagian besar pemukim kulit putih pertama adalah narapidana dan orang buangan/terhukum dari Inggris yang tentu saja membawa kebudayaan Eropa, khususnya Inggris, bersama mereka. Salah satu ciri dalam masyarakat kulit putih adalah rasialisme yang dilandasi oleh perasaan superior mereka sebagai bangsa yang "berbudaya" terhadap ras kulit berwarna. Sikap rasialis tersebut juga tampak pada sikap pemukim kulit putih terhadap orang Aborigin yang masih menganut kebudayaan yang menurut para pendatang merupakan kebudayaan yang primitif. Kesederhanaan alat-alat dan Cara hidup orang Aborigin yang sangat tergantung dan dekat pada alam dianggap tidak akan menimbulkan ancaman bagi keberadaan para pendatang kulit putih. Berkat persenjataan mereka yang jauh lebih modern dan didukung oleh kecerdikan mereka, maka para pendatang tidak membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk dapat mendesak suku Aborigin ke daerah pedalaman yang tandus dan kering. Kebudayaan alarm yang dimiliki orang Aborigin juga bukan merupakan ancaman yang berarti dalam sistem ekonomi masyarakat kulit putih. >Ancaman dari ras kulit berwarna baru kuat dirasakan setelah kedatangan imigran bebas Cina pada masa pendulangan emas di pertengahan abad ke-19. Dari segi jumlah, imigran Cina dirasakan sebagai ancaman karena mereka datang dalam jumlah yang cukup besar dibandingkan jumlah para imigran bebas kulit putih di ladang-ladang emas. Rasa terancam itu juga meluas ke segi ekonomi? "

"Summary: It is commonly assumed that we live in an age of unbridled individualism, but in this important new book Montserrat Guibernau argues that the need to belong to a group or community - from peer groups and local communities to ethnic groups and nations - is a pervasive and enduring feature of modern social life. The power of belonging stems from the potential to generate an emotional attachment capable of fostering a shared identity, loyalty and solidarity among members of a given community. It is this strong emotional dimension that enables belonging to act as a trigger for political mobilization and, in extreme cases, to underpin collective violence. Among the topics examined in this book are identity as a political instrument; emotions and political mobilization; the return of authoritarianism and the rise of the new radical right; symbols and the rituals of belonging; loyalty, the nation and nationalism. It includes case studies from Britain, Spain, Catalonia, Germany, the Middle East and the United States. This wide-ranging and cutting-edge book will be of great interest to students and scholars in politics, sociology and the social sciences generally"

"ABSTRACTThis study aims to examine transnational belonging among Bangladeshi migrants in South Korea. The results showed that Bangladeshi migrants in South Korea have strong transnational belonging to their homeland. The highest degrees of transnational belonging were found to be a motherhoodlike relationship with their homeland, in the category of autographical belonging; talking in their native language and eating traditional food in the area of cultural originality belonging; watching Bangladeshi television in cultural entertainment belonging; taking care of families who stay in the homeland in economic livelihood belonging; saving money for future wellbeing in economic financial belonging; feeling proud of being a Bangladeshi citizen in legal psychological belonging; and feeling secure as a Bangladeshi citizen in legal safety and security belonging. Transnational belonging to the homeland varies more by present occupation, visa status, and reason for migration, while labor migrants who hold E9 visas and migrants who migrated for economic reasons showed stronger transnational economic livelihood belonging and economic finance belonging. This study suggests subsequent studies to compare transnational belonging of various migrant groups through sampling based on sociodemographic factors."
