Аннотация: The paper explores the intricate dynamics of migration within the context of societal cohesion and identity formation. Migration is not just a mere relocation; it's deeply intertwined with broader social transformations. Migration patterns in Latvia reveal a consistent population loss due to emigration, yet the connection between emigrants and their homeland is resilient, particularly through family bonds. By examining the Latvian experience since the country's independence in 1991, we aim to analyze the sense of belonging of Latvian emigrants and uncover factors crucial in shaping migrants' identities and maintaining ties to their homeland. Our study integrates both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to provide a holistic understanding of this phenomenon by analyzing data from large-scale surveys of Latvian emigrants alongside personal narratives collected from the Latvian National Oral History Collection.
