Reviews

'Lorna Fox O'Mahony and James Sweeney's book bridges different branches of the law when examining the concept of home. The breadth of such an undertaking which includes discussion on displacement in the context of conflict and the international legal implications of such, possession of the home from an English law perspective, human rights as well as home ownership in the US is admirable. With leading scholars from a broad range of fields this book is likely to make a significant contribution to the legal field.' Rachel Murray, University of Bristol, UK 'The chapters in this book are important contributions to the literature on specific legal issues, while at the same time providing thoughtful analyses of the broader unifying themes raised by legal issues relating to the loss of a home. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between home and law, and more broadly for anyone interested in the interface between law and society.' D. Benjamin Barros, Widener Law School, USA
