ABSTRACT
Despite the contemporary rise of long-term refugee displacement, the policies in place to manage it are based on remarkably static notions of home. In our chapter, we use a feminist analysis of ‘home’ to critique binary policies of ‘home’ and ‘not-home’. Instead, we propose that refugees themselves link different temporal and spatial dimensions of home into fluid constellations of home, and maintain these constellations through their mobile home-keeping practices. The multi-dimensional homes that refugees make through their daily house-keeping activities, networking and memory-work, and navigating through the international humanitarian system are recognizable as the shared human experience of home and represent a basis for improved and inclusive policies.
