| Sommario/riassunto: | 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. |
