Examining Migrants’ Notions of “Home,” “Nation,” “Identity,” and “Belonging”

This paper examines migrant workers’ transnational experiences as they take on varying tendencies and trajectories that take place in both their host country and homeland settings. By introspectively looking at their non-economic personal issues, this paper explores how migrant workers construct/reconstruct themselves, seen through their notions of “home,” “nation,” “identity,” and “belonging.” Such notions are further filtered by locating them against the nexus of gender ideologies, concepts of family and parenthood, and religious affiliation
