"""Examines the flip side of migration: return migration. As the authors show in rich ethnographic detail, migrants return to their country of origin, or not, for many reasons, including deportations, asylum denials, job loss, lack of access to social and medical support programs, and the desire to restore family relationships. The strength of States of Return is its multi-national focus, which provides new understandings of what return migration means to those who experience it...A must-read book for both scholars and the general public who wish to understand the implications of today’s turbulent migration politics on the people who experience forced and unforced return migration."" * Leo Chavez, University of California, Irvine *"
