Abstract
This chapter draws on testimonies of individuals who have been deported from the United Kingdom (UK) to identify what happens once migrants are forcibly returned to their socalled “home” or third countries. The narratives underscore the distressing nature of administrative removal and deportation and the challenges of starting one’s life again, particularly after having experienced often lengthy periods of immigration detention in the UK prior to expulsion. Returnees’ experiences speak to the difficulties of (re)establishing oneself and the resilience needed to cope with the numerous losses―financial, occupational, familial, cultural―associated with their exclusion from the UK. The chapter highlights the particular challenges resulting from being deported directly from immigration detention as well as the ways in which informants have tried to (re)establish themselves and carry on.
