The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.\u201d For many of us, however, there is no home to return to. Or what was once home has become unrecognizable. As we barrel further into the 21st Century, the precarity of refuge\u00a0 comes into sharper focus. Environmental catastrophe, political and economic upheaval, the enduring vestiges of colonialism, rapidly evolving digital realities and the normalization of violence, dispossession, and psychic unrest all contribute to its disappearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Global City Review is now accepting submissions for our 26th issue, titled\u00a0<em>Impermanence of Home.<\/em> This issue\u00a0 invites contributors to consider the emotional, political, and physical dimensions of home in flux.
