Return Migration and Identity – A Global Phenomenon, a Hong Kong Case

Return migration is an emergent global trend. In a pioneering study, this book examines the phenomenon from a psychological and identity perspective by summarizing worldwide patterns and delving in depth into local outcomes for Hong Kong returnees. Based in part on research collected in Hong Kong among return migrants, the findings highlight the cultural dimensions that led to their unique experiences in returning home.

Sussman effectively weaves together themes about migration and remigration from such diverse sources as arts and literature, history, sociology, and her own discipline of psychology. This book will make an excellent contribution to research on acculturation, cross-cultural transition and adaptation, identity and migration. -- Colleen Ward, Victoria University of Wellington
