"This is an excellent edited volume. It brings together many leading scholars from a range of relevant areas of study. The chapters are of a consistently high quality and collectively make an important, novel contribution to the field of phenomenology by offering a sustained examination of a crucial, yet somewhat neglected, concept. The volume also demonstrates the value of reflecting on the phenomenology of belonging for social and political theory more generally." — Paddy McQueen, Swansea University
