Despite the mass dislocation and repatriation efforts of the last century, the study of return movements still sits on the periphery of anthropology and migration research. Homecomings explores the forces and motives that drive immigrants, war refugees, political exiles, and their descendants back to places of origin. By including a range of homecoming experiences, Markowitz and 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. The volume provides rich answers to the following questions:
· Does group repatriation, sponsored and sometimes coerced by national governments or supranational organizations, create resettlement conditions more or less favorable than those experienced by individuals or families who made this journey alone?
· How important are first impressions, living conditions, and initial reception in shaping the experience of home in the homeland?
· What are the expectations that a mythologized homeland encourages in those who have left?
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.
