The experience of return migration2005

"This book brings together a range of in-depth case studies, focusing on topics such as the socio-cultural adjustments that are faced by the transnational migrants, the degree to which they are 'othered', and the gendered character of their experiences on return. Young returning nationals are a particular focus and the book looks at the economic and social roles these return migrants fulfil. The book also develops theoretical constructs concerning how the transnational networks of these returnees help perpetuate mobility, and further the formation of extended multi-local networks linking the returnees with their European, North American and intra-Caribbean kin and families." --Book Jacket.
