Sociological research literature

Brothers or Others emerged from Anita H Fabos’s deep engagement with contemporary social fragmentation and integration. Through years of fieldwork, she observed that communities often struggle with ambivalence toward newcomers—desiring connection yet fearing difference. This tension shapes the book’s core inquiry. Rather than offering simple answers, Fabos weaves together personal narratives and theoretical reflection to question how boundaries between “us” and “them” are constructed. The work has since become a staple in university courses and reading groups, sparking debates on citizenship and pluralism. Notably, during her research, Fabos lived alongside several migrant families; these experiences revealed that belonging is rarely defined by legal status alone, but is nurtured through everyday interactions and shared memories.
