<p> Discourses of<em>Heimat</em> and of migration both negotiate questions of identity, belonging, and integration; moreover, despite the reemergence of right-wing, racist, and exclusionary uses of the term<em>Heimat</em>, there are in fact more recent German-language cultural texts that problematize and challenge a view of<em>Heimat</em> as a community that excludes the Other than there are promulgating it. This volume addresses the parallel proliferation of discourses of<em>Heimat</em> and of migration in contemporary German-language culture and demonstrates that the entanglement of migration and<em>Heimat</em> can be productive: it can help us to reframe what it means to have a home, to lose one, find one, or belong to one.</p>
