Why do immigrants return home? Is return migration a failure or a
success? How do returnees settle back into their original homeland
while retaining their connections to their host society? How do
returnees contribute to their homeland with their skills gained from
overseas? Transnational Return Migration of 1.5 Generation Korean New
Zealanders: A Quest for Home seeks to answer these complex questions
surrounding return migration through a case study of the 1.5
generation Korean New Zealander returnees. Jane Lee questions and
unpacks the very meaning of “home” and “return” through the
personal and intimate stories that are shared by the Korean New
Zealander returnees. This book tells a compelling story of the strong
desire contemporary transnational migrants feel to belong to one
particular identity group. In addition, the author highlights the
realities and disconnections of transnationalism as the returnees’
transnational activities and experiences change over time and space.
