Studying Return Migration from a Historical Perspective - concept note
Executive Summary:
Neither return migrations nor politics of return are new. Nonetheless, as Russell King (2000, p. 7) pointed out, 'return migration is the great unwritten chapter in the history of migration'. Although there has been an increasing amount of literature on return migration in recent decades, there remains a strong need to incorporate history as a disciplinary perspective into studies on return migration. This concept note aims to address this issue by presenting some initial ideas for adopting a historical approach to the study of return migration.
