Homecomings

"Homecomings explores the forces and motives that drive immigrants, war refugees, political exiles, and their descendants back to their places of origin. By including a range of homecoming experiences, Fran Markowitz and Anders H. Stefansson destabilize the key oppositions and the key terminologies that have vexed migration studies for decades, analyzing migration and repatriation; home and homeland; and host, returnee, and newcomer through a comparative ethnographic lens. Filling a conspicuous gap in the literature on migration in diverse fields such as anthropology, politics, international law, and cultural studies, Homecomings and the gripping ethnographic studies included in the volume demonstrate that a home and a homeland remain salient cultural imperatives that can inspire a call to political action."--Jacket.
