This lecture examines the conflicting meanings of 'return' in diasporic and migration contexts. It contrasts reparative Black diasporic imaginaries with contemporary European removal policies. The speaker analyzes how the term shifts from a right to a euphemism for deportation. The event is an academic discussion suitable for those interested in migration studies and political theory.
