Lisa Johnson sheds light on the mobile biographies and migratory agency of her interlocutors by following the intricate mental and physical trajectories of their deep-rooted yearning to return home.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lisa Johnson, born in 1988, is a postdoc researcher at the Institute of Ethnology at the University of Trier and a lecturer for Cultural Studies at Saarland University.
