- W2782023181 abstract "Abstract This paper examines social and migratory trajectories of involuntary return, with a focus on Ghanaian labour migrants who have engaged in high-risk and precarious migration projects. Four types of involuntary return are identified, based on state involvement and forced relocation processes: deportation by air, overland deportation, evacuation and flight from conflict. I show that migrants may go through several – and different modes of – involuntary returns, sometimes over just a few years. Though different ways of returning have implications for future legal mobility, it is less pertinent for migrants' post-return life where the main question confronting them is what they brought back. That involuntary returnees are seen as successful if they manage to return with money, skills or exposure reflects that migration constitutes local collective hope – an imagined pathway to transform one's life and establish a better future for one's family and oneself. Following returnees over time, I distinguish between three overall trajectories: continued precariousness, re-migration, and social and economic regeneration. Some returnees find themselves in the same or worse social and economic situations as prior to migration. Others succeed in social and economic regeneration, establishing livelihoods and (re-)positioning themselves as respectable persons. However, in many cases, post-return life is characterized by uncertainty and many returnees are engaged in several migration projects over time, regardless of the mode of involuntary return. Hence, involuntary return disrupts, slows and hampers migration projects but it does not necessarily end them." @default.
