2017 (English)In: Return Migration and Psychosocial Wellbeing: Discourses, Policy-Making and Outcomes for Migrants and their Families / [ed] Zana Vathi; Russell King, Routledge, 2017, p. 257-273Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book explores some of the complex socio-cultural, emotional, ideological and political ramifications of the nexus between return migration and psychosocial wellbeing. it challenges the prevalent assumption in the literature that return migration is some kind of 'natural' conclusion to the migratory process in which the return 'home' closes the cycle of the migration trajectory. A more mobile, transnational conceptualisation of migration sees return as part of an ongoing itinerary rather than a permanent resettlement back in the country of origin. The book considers Jean-Pierre Cassarino's (2004) landmark paper on retheorising return migration. It prioritises the emotional experiences of return migration as a challenge to the conventional framing of the migrant as homo economicus. The book problematises the forced vs voluntary dichotomy in return migration through looking at the vulnerable wellbeing outcomes of those who are 'forced' to return to Afghanistan.
