A Long Journey Home - Losing and Remaking Home following Conflict and Displacement

Advancing contemporary scholarly debates on the role of home in understanding displacement and emplacement, A Long Journey Home explores powerful personal narratives from Colombia. The book examines the experiences of those whose sense of home has been disrupted by decades of conflict and violence. It highlights the profound feelings of loss and the enduring struggle of living without a home – an experience that can last for years or even decades. Through these stories, the book reveals how internally displaced people use creativity and imagination to remake their home while on the move.
