This volume focuses on the process of return migration, from a
holistic and policy-oriented perspective. Studies in return
migration, which remains a vibrant field for academics,
researchers, and policy-makers, have provided a large body of
knowledge on particular issues, but generally fall along two lines:
they are either broad macro analyses and models (especially
economic ones) or narrow ethnographic views (anthropological,
sociological, or psychological). This volume attempts to chart a
course between these two approaches, combining returning migrants'
life trajectories, as seen by themselves, with analysis of the
structural processes that have taken place in the last three
decades in Europe and in Poland, as a new EU country. In analyzing
the social and cultural changes reflected in the biographies of
returning migrants, the author uses a framework based on an
original synthesis of Alfred Schutz's phenomenological approach,
focusing on the returnees' "life words," with the social realism of
Margaret Archer, focusing on the concerns and projects of
individuals interacting with social and cultural structures.
