I Will Call It Home

"I Will Call It Home" examines why people leave their homelands in search of a future elsewhere.

Rather than following dominant media narratives that reduce migration to anonymous “waves” or “crises,” Fabian Weiss focuses on individual stories. By giving migrants a face and voice, he shifts interpretive power back to those who are usually spoken about, not with. The book asks: how do we talk about migration in Europe—and how should we? The personal accounts collected here reveal that migration is not only a response to conflict or instability, but also part of a broader redefinition of identity in an interconnected world. For many, mobility and communication now matter more than national borders. As Europe fortifies its external borders, internal migration within the EU continues to reshape the continent. This book reminds us that migration is not a temporary emergency—it is a defining reality of our time.
