Sažetak
Migration studies classify different types of population mobility: emigration, immigration, re- immigration to new destinations and return to the place of origin. However, considering the investigations of the descendants of Croatian immigration in Argentina we can recognize the so- called return migration to the place of ethnic origin. Ethnic return is analysed in this paper, in which we examine the Croatian language learning program called Croaticum, in the city of Zagreb. The scholarship policy for the study of the Croatian language is revised, considering that it is not directly related to the immigration topic, but nevertheless has consequences in this migration movement. Our analysis is based on the return of the third and fourth generation of Croats from Argentina. We approach the ethnographic study of this population considering the peculiarity of their double migration. They are generational migrants because their life experiences were permeated by family migration. They are also ethnic migrants, their arrival to Croatia is related to the possibility of obtaining citizenship and legal documentation but it also involves processes faced by other immigrants. We aim to investigate those experiences that combine family immigration in Argentina and the integration in Croatia based on the importance of social capital and the role of social networks.
