商品簡介
As seen through the lens of traditional migration and assimilation theory, children of immigrants are expected to assimilate to the host culture and remain in the country, but in fact many of these people around the world are returning to countries of origin, prompting Conway (Indiana U., US) and Potter (U. of Reading, UK) to assemble this collection of 11 articles examining the migration experiences of second-generation return immigrants (and so called "1.5-generation" return immigrants, those that came to host countries as children and returned to home countries as adults). The papers explore experiences of Samoan returnees, Tongan returnees, Japanese returnees from Brazil, Bajan returnees from the UK, Greek returnees from the United States, Hong Kong returnees, Polynesian returnees, Trinidadian returnees, and Australian returnees.
