Being a Foreign Native: The question of gender and race among young return migrants in the Caribbean

Bachelor thesis | Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology (BSc)

My main interest is to investigate the adjustment of the young returning migrants to the Caribbean. Attention will be paid to their status in terms of cultural adjustment and settlement. The gendered nature of their experience of return migration will be specifically considered. How race intersects and impacts the processes of return migration will be also examined. Special attention will be given to the socio-economic aspect of the young returnee’s lives; here the position of the young returnee in the employment market is going to be analyzed. By concentrating on this relatively small group I take distance from populations such as returning retirees which has been widely studied in the Caribbean migration studies.
