migration story
Tale of movement
A migration story is a narrative about people moving from one place to another—across borders, continents, or regions—typically focusing on the circumstances of departure, the journey itself, and adaptation to a new home.
The term appears frequently in discussions of immigrant experience, family history, and national identity: Every American family has a migration story.
Migration stories often emphasize hardship, hope, and cultural negotiation.
