The Routledge Handbook of Home
About this book
This global, critical, and interdisciplinary handbook rethinks home as a material, emotional, and geopolitical site. It examines housing, displacement, domesticity, climate, care and the intimate labours, subjectivities, and practices of home. Across diverse contexts and with varied perspectives, including feminist, queer, and decolonial apprachers, the handbook chapters challenge romanticised ideals and illuminate home's inequalities, exclusions, and possibilities.
Spanning 46 chapters across four parts ("Theorising Home," "Housing and Home," "Domesticities and Everyday Life," and "Global Challenges and Home Futures"), this handbook blends conceptual innovation with grounded research. It offers global case studies, theoretical depth, and pedagogical tools on home's entanglements with law, human rights, ecology, technology, violence, and more—making it indispensable for critical scholarship, teaching, and practice.
Designed for a broad audience, this handbook supports undergraduate learning, graduate teaching, and advanced research. It equips scholars, educators, activists, policymakers, and practitioners with essential insights and resources to engage with home as a site of power, identity, and struggle in a rapidly changing world.
