This book examines return mobilities to and from ancestral homelands of the second generation and beyond. It presents cutting-edge empirical research framed within the mobilities, transnational and return migration/diaspora paradigms on a trans/local and global scale. The book is unique in presenting not only a variety of return movements, including short-term visits and longer-term return migrations, but also circulatory movements within transnational social fields while engaging with notions of 'home', belonging, identity and generation. The individual contributions range widely over different ethnic, national, regional and global settings, including Europe, North America, the Caribbean, the Gulf and Africa. The result is a remapping of the conceptualisation of 'diaspora' and of the role of successive generations in the diasporic experience, as well as a nuancing of the concepts of return migration and transnationalism by their extension to the second and subsequent generations of 'immigrants'.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Mobilities.

Industry Reviews

"Links to the Diasporic Homeland: Second Generation and Ancestral 'Return' Mobilities was originally published as a special issue of Mobilities, one of the most relevant international journals on migration. Now, this volume edited by the leading researchers in migration, Russell King, Anastasia Christou and Peggy Levitt, is also available in a book form. It puts forward empirical analyses of return mobilities to and from the ancestral homelands of the second generation and beyond. The nine individual contributions show the diversity of return migrations and circulatory movements in Europe (the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Greece and Albania), North America, the Caribbean, the Gulf, South Asia and Africa (Ghana, Somalia and Uganda). They are framed within the mobilities, transnational and return migration/diaspora paradigms on a trans/local and global scale." Joanna Rak, University in Poznan
