本文旨在通过对“第二代回归”--即在东道国出生的第二代人迁移到其父母的出生国的移民--的具体关注，为正在进行的侨民理论做出贡献。我们命名术语‘反散居迁徙’来描述这种特殊的迁徙时间域。尽管大多数侨民的定义中都包含了“回归祖国”的思想，但对“反侨民”的研究相对较少，因为“侨民”的“分散”是相反的。本文采用文化-地理学的视角，探讨了第二代移民移居故乡的一些核心要素：具体地说，移民对“家”、“地方”、“归属”和“身份”的复杂和模棱两可的看法；或者，从移民的主位角度，“我在哪里”中的“我是谁”。这篇论文借鉴了作者正在进行的关于第二代希腊裔美国人和希腊裔德国人返回希腊的研究成果，以及世界各地反海外侨民的其他研究。版权所有(C)2009 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
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.
