This chapter examines how we construct ideas of home and homeliness in various ways within diverse memory narratives. Apart from oral history testimonies, the chapter focuses on visual art, literature, and the cinema of partition. The chapter examines the many meanings that the concept of home has in people’s memory. It looks at the powerful emotional connection that people experience and preserve in their memories of the lost home. Analyzing these meanings and emotions, the chapter goes on to make the case that the memories of the lost home, and the ways in which these memories become part of one’s life-narrative can be a powerful force in transcending and undermining national borders and statist narratives of history. |
