%X Based on 30 narrative-biographic interviews with second-generation Greek and Italian women who have migrated from the United States to their ¡®ancestral homelands¡¯ of Greece and Italy, our article explores nuances of their stigma management by focusing on the interaction between their pre-repatriation past and post-repatriation present and the spaces of inclusion and exclusion. Adopting the method of narrative-biographic analysis, we present three detailed case studies of repatriated women ¨C organized as composite biographies ¨C to illuminate from different angles the process of stigma management and the phenomenon of stigma mobility. Highlighting the dynamics of the reproduction of the diasporic patriarchy through repatriation to the ¡®ancestral homeland¡¯, we introduce and elaborate on the concept ¡®nativity voucher¡¯ in reference to ethno-cultural resources that repatriated people use to facilitate their spaces of inclusion
