Abstract
This article explores transgenerational return migration to Galicia in north-west Spain. Specifically, it focuses on a scholarship programme within Galicia’s Return Strategy 2020 – a policy aimed at incentivising return migration to Galicia to ameliorate the demographic crisis that it is experiencing due to an aging population. Drawing on 27 life-story interviews with descendants of Galician emigrants to Latin America, and discursive analysis of newspaper articles and promotional materials related to the initiative, the article argues that studying transgenerational return migration can help challenge deeply engrained notions about identity and belonging, and advance theoretical understandings of return migration.
