Please see below for details.<\/p><p>Abstract: This article focuses on the experiences, aspirations, and challenges of Sri Lankan Muslim returnees to the northern part of Sri Lanka, Jaffna, and analyzes their strategies to cope with the ambivalent situation they face. The empirical point of departure is drawn from the stories of three Muslim returnees in Jaffna who returned from different parts of Sri Lanka. The article finds that the Muslim returnees conceptualize home as a place where they can have a \u201cbetter future\u201d than the displaced location where they stayed for so long. We argue that this unveils the different kinds of attachment they have to their homes through memories, emotions, as well as material and other immaterial concerns. There even, exist feelings of alienation and detachment from their homes among some. Furthermore, their aspirations of a good life seem to be fading after their return.<\/p><p><strong>Authors:<\/strong><br \/><strong>Dr. Diotima Chattoraj<\/strong> is a doctorate (with distinction magna-cum-laude) from the Department of International Development Studies (IEE) in Ruhr-University Bochum Germany.
