Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description The effect of immigration on individual lives is not short lived. Those who stay in an adopted country permanently go through a continual process of adjustment and learning both about their new countryand about themselves. The four women profiled in Carol Kelley's poignant 'Accidental Immigrants and the Search for Home' challenge immigrant stereotypes as their lives are transformed by moving to new countries for reasons of marriage, education, or careernot economics or politics. The intimate stories of these accidental immigrants broaden conventional notions of home. From a Maori woman who moves to Norway to the daughter of an Iranian diplomat now living in France, Kelley weaves together these stories of the personal and emotional effects of immigration with interdisciplinary discussions drawn from anthropology and psychology. Ultimately, she reveals how the lifelong process of immigration affects each woman's sense of identity and belonging and contributes to better understanding today's globalized society. a Review 'Building parallels among diverse stories, Kelley presents the physical and emotional journeys of four 'accidental immigrants.' Now middleaged, these four women reflect on leaving their home country because of life choices like education or relationships. Anthropologist Kelley tackles issues of home, belonging, adjustment, transnationalism, acculturation, and the experience of being foreign through the eyes of her informants.... Kelleys subjects are introspective and intelligent, and she examines the complexities of each set of circumstances.'Publishers Weekly'A valuable contribution to the immigration debate,Accidental Immigrants and the Search for Homebroadens the discourse about a humane immigration policy for uprooted family members neither seeking work nor separately documented.'Mary Catherine Bateson, author ofComposing a Further Life: The Age of Active Wisdom About the Author Carol E.
