In the context of the southern Senegalese region of Kolda, irregular migration towards Eu-rope is viewed through the lens of involuntary return and the disruption of the domestic moral economy. Ethnographic and historical data spanning 2017 to 2023 serve to question the con-ventional dichotomies of voluntary versus forced repatriation, prompting an examination of the dynamic reconfiguration of familial affects, expectations, and responsabilities engendered by returns under strain. Adopting a perspective that ‘de-migrantizes’ mobility resituates the migra-tory episode within a broader continuum of social existence, demonstrating how departure and return are embedded in protracted negotiations of belonging. Foregrounding the circulation of affects – namely shame, guilt, and resilient hope – prioritizes the temporality of life trajectories over the spatiality of border crossing. Such an approach illuminates the dynamic processes of meaning-making that contest and redefine the boundaries of the family in this region of Senegal.
