In recent decades, increasing numbers of diasporic peoples have
returned to their ethnic homelands, whether because of economic
pressures, a desire to rediscover ancestral roots, or the homeland
government's preferential immigration and nationality policies.
Although the returnees may initially be welcomed back, their
homecomings often prove to be ambivalent or negative experiences.
Despite their ethnic affinity to the host populace, they are
frequently excluded as cultural foreigners and relegated to
low-status jobs shunned by the host society's populace. "Diasporic
Homecomings," the first book to provide a comparative overview of
the major ethnic return groups in Europe and East Asia, reveals how
the sociocultural characteristics and national origins of the
migrants influence their levels of marginalization in their ethnic
homelands, forcing many of them to redefine the meanings of home
and homeland.
