ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how the multiple identities of Greek migrants in Denmark are shaped by and constructed through their spatial and cultural encounters in both home' and host' countries. Such encounters are rooted' in the nation-state but also unfold beyond its borders within cultural, diasporic and transnational spaces. In contemporary European culture the longing for home is not an innocent utopia. In order to explore the interrelationships between migrant identities and women's sense of belonging in a diasporic space between home' and host' countries, it is important to locate their personal stories within the interconnected systems of social, historical, cultural and political dynamics that connects both women's experiential narrations of space, and the gendered constitution of home-spaces. For most participants, there was a clear feeling that Greece had changed' and it was not exactly the place of their imagination or of their parents' memories, or even of their own memories of homecoming' visits.
