Migration, Identity and Politics in Turkey from the Ottoman Empire to Today: : Özge Onursal-Besgül: Lexington Books

Migration, Identity and Politics in Turkey from the Ottoman Empire to Today

Description

International migration, the flow of people across international boundaries, has been studied from several perspectives, especially since the Syrian civil war in 2011. Migration, Identity and Politics in Turkey from the Ottoman Empire to Today aims to explore the motivation of migration, the social integration or disintegration, the migration process to the host country and the development and creation of new migrant identities. A lot of studies deal with the subject of international migration, especially regarding the civil rights of migrants, economic impacts of migration, or international policies related to migration, but a micro based analysis on migrants’ culture, political, social identities and attitudes, generational transformation, moral and mental stated historical approach is limited. In this regard, the book differs from other works in that it includes comprehensive and historical analyzes of internal and external migration since the Ottoman Empire, rather than just focusing on current international migration to Turkey, as well as an identity-based and cultural perspective that goes beyond the social, economic and political perspective.

“This is an important contribution that reminds the reader of the importance of the ethno-cultural and religious pillars of the nation-building process in the Turkish case that informs the next generations about how both emigrants and immigrants are treated by the state actors.”
