- Summary:
- Abadan-Unat, an educator at Bogazici U., Turkey, and a scholar on Turkish migration, provides a summary of her experiences and research on Turkish migration since 1963. The goals of her exhaustive study are: to explain the travels of thousands of Turkish men and women to foreign countries by choice, necessity, or invitation; to examine the difficulties they encountered, and to detail how their lives were affected by the legal, political, social, and economic environments in the countries where they settled. A sampling of specific topics includes phases of Turkish emigration, civil society and Islam, political and economic asylum movements and xenophobia, and globalization, migration, and the nation state.
