HIST 10102 - Homecomings: Histories/Return Migration

Course Credit: 1
HOMECOMINGS: HISTORIES OF RETURN MIGRATION. While the act of return is frequently part of migratory experiences, return migration is largely overlooked as a key aspect of migration history. This course will center on the experiences of migrants who make temporary and permanent returns home. In addition to exploring transnational and interdisciplinary narratives of return migration, the course will also ask students to consider what it means for us to understand a place to be our home. Key readings for this course will include Call to Home: African Americans Reclaim the Rural South by Carol B. Stack and Homecomings: Unsettling Paths of Return, edited by Markowitz, Fran, and Anders H. Stefansson. [GE, HSS]
