By George Gmelch

Subjects: Return migration, Emigration and immigration

Description: "Includes 13 oral life histories of Barbadian return migrants from Great Britain and North America, a sample roughly representative of all Barbadian returnees in terms of gender, class, and receiving countries. Histories and commentary treat the entire migration cycle: reasons for departure, experiences abroad, and problems of return. Useful concluding sections on meaning of return migration and on value of oral history for such study"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
