Return migration is discussed a lot but remains poorly understood in both academic and policy contexts. Engaging with the multi-faceted realities of ‘return’, this books offers a much needed critical view to return migration. Focusing on the psychosocial well being of the returning migrant the book challenges the dominant myth that return is a ‘good thing’. Contributions to this volume cover four continents and very different contexts of return (voluntary and forced, assisted and spontaneous) pointing to the agency of the migrant and to the role of volition in both returning and in seeking to escape (forced) return.

Return Migration and Psychosocial Wellbeing sheds new light on classical themes in the study of migration, such as agency, home, and the life course. The book connects these themes with current theoretical turns and policy contexts. The focus on psychosocial wellbeing weaves together forms of migration that are usually studies in isolation from each other.

Jørgen Carling, Peace Research Institute Oslo 
Readers who want to understand the policy and societal relevance of returnees’ wellbeing will find much in this volume co-edited by Russell King and Zana Vathi. The authors’ contributions accurately identify the various psychosocial dimensions inherent in returnees’ patterns of reintegration as well as their implications. To be sure, this volume clearly shows that it is still possible to reflect on return migration by critically examining and deconstructing predominant assumptions with grounded scientific evidence.

Return Migration and Psychosocial Wellbeing

“A central focus of the volume is to expose the contemporary forces of state co-optation of corporatism that black social movements face. … This rich collection will be of great value to scholars of Afro-mobilization and makes an important intervention in the social movement literature. It is perfect for advanced coursework and study in the areas of Latin American social movements and identity politics.” (Keri Vacanti Brondo, Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, 2016)"A landmark study that provides a model for future research in a historically marginalized field. Highly recommended." - CHOICE

A comprehensive collection that approaches the issue of freedom of expression in the new media in Russia, as well as attempts to curb it, from multiple angles. Such an approach illuminates the multifaceted nature of the Russian media studies regime, which cannot be reduced to simple state-controlled censorship" - Olena Nedozhogina, in Journal of Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society

Reviews of the hardback edition:

'If you want to understand how your knowledge of the world shapes your use of language and your grasp of its deepest significance, read this book. Experimental pragmatics began in the 1960's; forty years on, this book marks its coming of age. Its leading practitioners show that pragmatics is far from a peripheral topic but integral to the fundamental mechanisms of language. The chapters are accessible, and the book will provide the basis for an excellent course in experimental pragmatics.' - Professor P. N. Johnson-Laird, Department of Psychology, Princeton University, USA

'Psycholinguists have been investigating the pragmatics of discourse since the early seventies; but it is only recently that linguists working in that area have felt the need to resort to psychological experiments to test their models. Experimental psychology and linguistic pragmatics interact also in the study of reasoning. A new field is emerging - experimental pragmatics - to which this book, the first of its kind, provides an exciting and most welcome introduction.' - Professor Francois Recanati, Institut Jean-Nicod, France

Many of the topics are considered holistically and intertwine over several chapters, rendering the author's arguments more persuasive. The volume comes together to provide a vivid description of the mounting sophistication of Rome during the mid-Republican period. This is an excellent and ably presented book, balancing a wide-ranging approach with intricate detail.
