Description:

Return migration has been 're-discovered' as a significant dimension of global migration patterns. This book expands the research frontier into the realms of the one-and-a half and second-generations and the cohorts of youthful global contract workers and 'prolonged sojourners', and examines their return and its consequences.

Synopsis:

There is renewed interest in return migration among researchers of global movement patterns. Until recently, it was overlooked, regarded as the result of failure by emigrants, or related to the return of retired, elderly migrants. This important study looks at the one-and-a-half and second generation migrants, the youthful contract workers and the 'prolonged sojourners' and the consequences of their return to source communities.
