The authors focus on intimate emotional language and how languages of love shape the ways human beings migrate but also create meaning for migrants, their families, and their societies. Looking at sources ranging from letters of Portuguese immigrants in the 1880s to tweets passed among immigrant families in today's Italy, the essays explore the sentimental, sexual, and political meanings of love. The authors also look at how immigrants and those around them use love to justify separation and loss, and how love influences us to privilege certain immigrants--wives, children, lovers, refugees--over others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Affecting and perceptive, \u003ci\u003eEmotional Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e moves from war and transnational families to gender and citizenship to explore the crossroads of migration and the history of emotion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: María Bjerg, Marcelo J.
