Dominica Book - 'Home Again' NEW RELEASE...!!!

Home Again Stories of Migration and Return...

What happens when people return to the land of their birth after decades away? The migrants' journey is a well-told story but much less is known about those who return. Why do they go back? What is it like to be back home?

Home Again is a collection of contemporary real-life stories by men and women who have returned to Dominica. Their feelings and experiences, expressed in their own words, link the challenges of the past to both the positive aspects of return - a sense of belonging and well-being - and also to its difficulties - of rejection and frustration. Compelling, moving and intensely personal, Home Again, compiled for the Dominica UK Asssociation, is a revealing insight into the lives of these pioneering migrants.

Dominica - 'HOME AGAIN: Stories of Migration and Return' launched

A book with a collection of contemporary real life stories written by 22 Dominicans can now be found in Roseau book stores...


‘Home Again: Stories of Migration and Return’ was conceptualized by Franklyn Georges who is also one of the writers. The stories were compiled by Polly Pattullo of Papillote Press and Celia Sothaindo for the Dominica-United Kingdom Association (DUKA).

According to a press release from Papillote Press, the contributors of the stories have returned home after living, working or studying in the UK, US, Canada, and the Caribbean region. Their ages range from 40 to 73.

Each contributor recounts the story of their childhood, the experience of migration and, finally, the positive and negative aspects of returning to their much-loved island, the press release stated.
