As I’m working with this notion of place based identity; I am haunted by a question as I read and write. This notion of a ‘longing to belong’ comes up a lot in the literature on immigration, migration and transnational identity. So when we critique place-based identity where does the ‘nomad’ long to belong? Where do they call ‘home?’ What or where do they long to be? Or does the nomad do identity differently? Or do they ‘identify’ differently? Just questions that haunt 2 in the morning. I had to share: you know misery loves company.
