Over two decades ago, Kosovo Serbs faced displacement due to ethnic conflict and tensions. Using their rich biographical narratives and intersectional analysis, this book provides insight into the nuanced ways individuals navigate their sense of place, sense of loss and belonging during times of upheaval and the rise of nationalism, with connections to territoriality of homeland as central to identity. This book uses a feminist approach to examine the intricate dynamics of gender, national affiliation and belonging in the context of internal displacement and territorial disputes faced by Kosovo Serbs. It presents the multifaceted realities of prolonged displacement and the uncertainties of return, both in spatial and temporal terms.

Industry Reviews

"This is an excellent and well written manuscript that covers an under-researched topic in an over-researched area ... It is well thought through, thorough, empirically rich and conceptually sound." * Dragana Kovacevic Bielicki, University of Bergen

"The book offers a fine-grained and sensitive ethnographic analysis of the individual experiences of Serbs who were displaced from their homes in Kosovo ...it provides a nuanced understanding of the act of "homing" in protracted displacement contexts." * Carolin Leutloff-Grandits, European University Viadrina
