Why do immigrants return home? Is return migration a failure or a success? How do returnees settle back into their original homeland while retaining their connections to their host society? How do returnees contribute to their homeland with their skills gained from overseas?
This book explores the complexities of return migration through the experiences of 1.5-generation Korean New Zealanders. Jane Yeonjae Lee uses intimate, personal narratives to unpack how returnees negotiate the meanings of "home" and "return," revealing that these concepts are far from fixed or straightforward. Through these stories, the book highlights a deep and often unresolved desire among transnational migrants to belong to a single, coherent identity, even as their lives span multiple national and cultural contexts.
At the same time, Lee illustrates the tensions and disconnections inherent in transnational life, showing how returnees' relationships to both their host and home countries evolve over time. Their transnational practices - such as maintaining social ties or applying skills gained abroad - shift as they resettle, complicating assumptions about seamless reintegration or clear-cut success.
Together, these insights challenge simplistic views of return migration as either failure or achievement, instead revealing it as an ongoing process of negotiation - one that reshapes identity, belonging, and the meaning of home in a globalized world.
