Embracing the concept of marginality as a method for recovering
histories of home, this book explores communities that have been seen
to exist outside of western models of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century domesticity, particularly as they were transplanted
in – and transformed by – settler, Indigenous, and imperial
geographies across the globe.
In focusing their attention on Indigenous perspectives on home in the
face of – and despite – colonial dislocations, both cultural and
territorial, several contributors expose home's function as a site of
cultural vitality and political resistance, as well as colonial
violence, across a range of geographical contexts. In addition to
highlighting previously marginalised, non-western perspectives on
home, this collection explores the operation of domestic politics
within nominally undomesticated spaces, as well as within seemingly
“unhomely” historical experiences – such as political activism,
intergenerational trauma, and geographical exploration. In so doing,
it invites critical re-evaluations of home as a category of analysis
within imperial, settler colonial, and Indigenous histories on a
variety of fronts. Chapters are organised around three key themes,
previously positioned in opposition to normative understandings of
home, that contributors have reimagined as intrinsic to material and
imagined geographies of home: travel and mobility; politics and public
life; and colonial violence.
