This monograph centers on the effort to understand the issue of return migration to Palestine from a sociological point of view. Six papers examine various human situations among Palestinians, ranging from villages that have been divided by borders such as the Green Line to populations of Palestinian origin that have been cut off from their roots in Palestine and are now seeking to establish their lives elsewhere. The common theme is the role of borders and boundaries-those that people seek to cross and those that the wider political processes establish around existing populations. Cairo Papers Vol. 29, No. 1Contributors: Shereen al-Araj, Mohamed Kamel DoraO, Sari Hanafi, Cedric Parizot, Tamara Tamimi, Mary Totry
