Diaspora or 'ethnic return' migrants have often been privileged in
terms of citizenship and material support when they seek to return
to their ancestral land, yet for many, after long periods of
absence - sometimes extending to generations - acculturation to
their new environment is as complex as that experienced by other
immigrant groups. Indeed, the mismatch between the idealized hopes
of the returning migrants and the high expectations for social
integration by the new host country results in particular
difficulties of adaptation for this group of immigrants, often with
high societal costs. This interdisciplinary, comparative volume
examines migration from German and Jewish Diasporas to Germany and
Israel, examining the roles of origin, ethnicity, and destination
in the acculturation and adaptation of immigrants. The book
presents results from various projects within a large research
consortium that compared the adaptation of Diaspora immigrants with
that of other immigrant groups and natives in Israel and Germany.
With close attention to specific issues relating to Diaspora
immigration, including language acquisition, acculturation
strategies, violence and 'breaches with the past', educational and
occupational opportunities, life course transitions and preparation
for moving between countries, The Challenges of Diaspora Migration
will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests
in migration and ethnicity, Diaspora and return migration.
