Of Counter-Diaspora and Reverse Transnationalism: Return Mobilities to and from the Ancestral Homeland

The concept of ‘racism’ has faced many difficulties in migration studies. Depending on definitions, islamophobia is a form either of religious discrimination or of racism. The same is true in contemporary debates in Europe about xenophobia against immigrants from the Global South. This article provides an alternative way of thinking about racism and its relationship with questions of intersectionality and discusses the relationship of these issues to migration theory. In the first part, we discuss intersectionality in relation to Fanon’s definition of racism. Then, we establish a dialogue between the work of de Sousa Santos and Fanon that could enrich our understanding of intersectionality in the framework of modernity and the capitalist/imperial/patriarchal/racial colonial world-system. Finally, we analyse this discussion’s implications for migration theory, highlighting how migration studies tend to reproduce a northern-centric social science view of the world that comes from the experience of others in the zone of being.

‘Racism’, intersectionality and migration studies: framing some theoretical reflections

This paper aims to contribute to ongoing theorisation of diasporas by a specific focus on 'second-generation return' , the migration of host-country-born second-generation persons to the birth-country of their parents. We nominate the term 'counter-diasporic migration' to describe this particular migration chronotope. Although the ideology of 'return to the homeland' is inscribed into most definitions of diaspora, relatively few studies have been made of `counter-diaspora', where the 'scattering' is reversed. Adopting a cultural-geographical perspective, the paper explores some of the core elements that are constitutive of second-generation relocation to the ancestral homeland: specifically the migrants' complex and ambiguous views of 'home', 'place', 'belonging' and 'identity'; or, from the emic perspective of the migrants, the 'who I am' in the 'where I am'. The paper draws on some results from ongoing research by the authors into the second-generation return of Greek-Americans and Greek-Germans to Greece, as well as on other studies of counter-diaspora around the world.

Cultural geographies of counter-diasporic migration: perspectives from the study of second-generation ‘returnees’ to Greece

Christoe onderzoekt in haar proefschrift Narratives of Place, Culture and Identity. Second-Generation Greek-Americans Return 'Home' de retourmigratie van Griekse-Amerikanen. Ze kijkt naar hoe deze migratie beleeft wordt door de migranten. Het concept 'thuis' en 'behoren bij' nemen in prominente plek in de belevingswereld van deze migranten in, evenals vervreemding en aanpassingsproblemen. Christou kijkt verder naar de interactie tussen de plaats van herkomst en de plaats van bestemming; netwerkverbanden, historische en wereldwijde invloeden op het gedrag van de migranten; en hoe deze migranten hun identiteit uiten.
