Local belonging and 'geographies of emotions': Immigrant children's experience of their neighbourhoods in Paris and Berlin.

This article argues that a sense of local belonging and emotional attitudes to one’s neighbourhood are inherently interconnected. It explores immigrant children’s emotional experiences of their neighbourhoods in Paris and Berlin through subjective maps drawn by the children. The article highlights the social and spatial nature of immigrant children’s belongings, and how their different emotional geographies are connected to differential access to material resources, extra-curricular education and their migration histories.
