White population losses sit alongside racial and ethnic minority population gains in nearly all of the small towns of the Upper Valley region spanning New Hampshire and Vermont. \u003ci\u003eHomesick\u003c\/i\u003e considers these trends in a part of the country widely considered to be progressive, offering new insights on the ways white residents maintain racial hierarchies even there. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWalton focuses on the experiences of mostly well-educated migrants of color moving to the area to take well-paid jobs - in this case in health care, higher education, software development, and engineering. Walton shows that white residents maintain their social position through misrecognition--a failure or unwillingness to see people of color as legitimate, welcome, and valuable members of the community. The ultimate impact of such misrecognition is a profound sense of homesickness, a deep longing for a place in which one can feel safe, wanted, and accepted. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTightly and sensitively argued, this book helps us better understand how to recognize and unsettle such processes of exclusion in diversifying spaces in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Walton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503644510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503644519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Emily Walton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825951101183,"sku":"9781503644519","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aea57589-1ab0-4af5-a005-66bd42174aaa.jpg?v=1746074118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homesick-emily-walton-9781503644519","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
