As a lifelong nomad, living for decades on the other side of the planet from where I grew up and having studied in worked in nearly a dozen countries, I can't relate to the sentiment. I think it's quite a leap to connect belonging and this rootedness. If I am rooted in anything it'd be in the deeper continuous history and prehistory of the species, the planet and universe. Anything else seems a bit small. I really don't think we're living in anything particularly special either when we consider the bigger picture which includes things like migration out of Africa, the neolithic revolution, Roman conquest or the migration period[1] that followed. On the other hand the original book looks interesting through the lens of criticism of a lack of local community and forced displacement[2]. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period 2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Need_for_Roots https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Need_for_Roots
