1. 1. Why this essay? It is customary for the author on return
migration to complain about the lack of theoretical and empirical
knowledge on his sub- ject. Three recen t general handbooks on the
sociology of migra- tion Jackson (1969), Jansen (1970) and Albrecht
(1972), pro- duce together no more than 10 sources on return
migration. The extensive migration bibliography by Mangalam (1968),
although giving no less than 2051 titles, still comes up with no
more than 10 sources. I t is true that not so many books and
articles are de- voted exclusively to return migration: Appleyard
(1962a, 1962b), Cerase (1967,1970), Committee ...(1967), Davison,
B. (1968), Dietzel (1971), Elizur (J 973), Feindt & Browning
(1972), Form & Rivera (1958), Frohlich & Schade (1966),
Hemandez-Alvarez (1967,1968), Kraak (1957a, 1957b, 1958), Kayser
(1972), Myers & Masnick (1968), Migration News (1969), Mc
Donald (1963), O. E. C. D. (1967a, 1967b), Patterson, H. O. (1968),
Richmond (1967a, 1967b, 1968), Richardson (1968), Saloutos (1956),
Stark (1967b), Vanderkamp (1972), Vagts (1960) and Wilder-Okladek
(1969). But this does not imply that no further research has been
done and that therefore every new student of return migration had
to begin from scratch. In numerous studies on emigration, migrant
labour, immigration, integration and assimilation, room has been
made for a chapter or a paragraph on "those who re- turned" or "the
migrant's return". I've found the demographical periodical
Population Index relatively useful in tracing the subject. 1. 2.
