Pilgrimization of the return and re-acculturation of the returnee: A study of homecoming among Kashmiri Pandits International Journal of Intercultural Relations (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-06-28 Zarnain Manzoor
Return migration is a complex phenomenon of reassessment of one’s place in a supposedly familiar environment that migrants stand removed from often for extended periods of time. The process possibly runs deeper than the physical act of relocation either facilitated though institutionalized schemes or done at an individual level. Post return ‘re-acculturation’ into the host society and a subsequent

The literature has examined individual predictors of attitudes toward immigrants, controlled by supra-individual variables, especially in European and North American countries. Nevertheless, this analysis has not been made using South-south migration communities. Thus, this study analyzed the individual predictors of the attitudes toward immigrants from Perú and Venezuela in a Chilean sample, controlling
