The study and analysis of migrants’ experiences of love in the host-country as well as in the home country and of their reinterpretations of love under the given conditions of their daily lives in the host country but also in the context of their transnational mobility offers an understanding of the ways in which the emotion of love is being constructed culturally, socially and historically and an opportunity to explore the construction of migrants’ sexual and gendered identities in a transitional "third" space.
