Svasek compiles essays considering emotion in the theories of material culture, transnationalism, and globalization. This emerging field of study seeks to understand how emotions shape the migrant experience and thus migratory artifacts and communities. Essays include case studies, current research and analysis, and policy recommendations for the fostering of positive interactions between stationary and migratory communities. Numerous examples are considered, including migrant experiences in Tibet, Britain, Norway, and Spain. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
