Materialities and imaginaries of home: geographies of British returnees in later life
This article explores home materialities and home imaginaries in later life, to provide insight into the dialectical relation between the spatial processes of ageing and migration. The article draws on empirical research with British return migrants in older age. The analysis purposively selects four participants from among a wider sample of interviewees to highlight some of the diversity among British returnees and their varied experiences of remaking home upon return. The article explores both the privilege and vulnerabilities of all British returnees as the meaning of home transforms in later life.
