In his article questioning the recent tendency to broaden and loosen the definition and conceptualization of diaspora, Brubaker (2005) argues for a return to three core features of diasporas, namely, that they involve a geographic dispersal process, often over a long period of time; that diasporic people retain a sense of their own ethnic/diasporic identity, distinct from the host societies within which they are located; and that they preserve a homeland orientation. It is with the last of these defining criteria that this special issue is concerned, stimulated by the fact that studies on the actualization of the homeland orientation through a physical return to the country of origin are rather rare
