N2 - This chapter presents findings from exploratory research with a group of adolescents from migrant backgrounds who have grown up in New York City. The main data source involves two group interviews staged around a large world map in which the youth discuss the idea of travel. Our analysis conveys the notion of belonging as spatially and temporally dispersed, focussing on four themes: attachment to one’s history and ethnicity; cosmopolitan ideals of belonging to the world; the politics of mobility, evident through the young people’s hesitation to travel; and the virtual mobilities of learning which parallel and shape the youth’s travel imaginaries.
