From 2017 to 2019, more than twenty of these camps existed in and around the city, operating as sites of global outreach even as they generated new ways of being at home for peacekeepers and the peace-kept population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough multisited ethnography and deep engagement with anthropological and urban theory, author Maren Larsen explores the entanglements of camp and city. Pushing against readings of Goma's peacekeeping camps as either more privileged enclaves or as outliers in camp studies when compared to refugee camps, Larsen argues for an understanding of \"camp\" as a process and practice. Between dwelling and journeying and \"here\" and \"there,\" the everyday lives and embodied practices of Goma's peacekeepers and Congolese civilians co-construct a \"city as elsewhere\" in which camping is a vital urban practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy offering a more expansive understanding of how UN peacekeeping camps fit within Goma's urban fabric, \u003ci\u003eWorlding Home\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the intertwined sociospatial processes of making a home, building a city, and reimagining the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaren Larsen is Senior Lecturer in Urban Studies at the University of Basel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 274\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52932116742255,"sku":"9780253074485","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4966\/4879\/files\/kuMuX-cIqH9780253074485.webp?v=1775844870","url":"https:\/\/finderbooks.com\/products\/worlding-home-an-urban-ethnography-of-peacekeeping-camps-in-goma-drc-paperback","provider":"Finder Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
