“With its focus on migration as an ethical experience, the book makes an important contribution to studies of transnational mobility, return migration, and migrant lives.” • Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI)

“If the readers want to read a rich critical analysis of a wide range of social science topics like identity, belonging, discrimination, otherization, stigmatization, and multi-layered sense of belonging, In Pursuit of Belonging is the best title. The readers get two-in-one! They are presented with a remarkable literary plot embedded in scientific genre or the other way around: a nuanced diligent discussion of identity and identification by means of a life writing… Having read her memoir, going into rich ethnographic evidence and conceptual discussion would benefit the reader immensely.” • Anthropos

“In Pursuit of Belonging, which is elegantly written and ethnographically rich, poses new questions about ethics in migration settings and should be on the shelves of scholars interested in migration studies, anthropology, ethics, human rights, gender, and narrative studies.” • Narrative Inquiry

“…interestingly it makes a contribution to the literature by being an ethnography of one woman whose life story is situated in a transnational space… This is an impressive study”. • Kimberly Hart, SUNY Buffalo State
