The Turkish Diaspora in Europe Integration, Migration, and Politics
GETTY GEBERT IMAGES/ANDREAS The Turkish Diaspora in Europe Integration, Migration, and Politics By Max Hoffman, Alan Makovsky, and Michael Werz December 2020 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Contents 1 Introduction and summary 4 Key findings 9 Detailed findings and country analyses 34 Conclusion 37 About the authors and acknowledgments 38 Appendix: Citizenship laws and migration history in brief 44 Endnotes Introduction and summary More than 5 million people of Turkish descent live in Europe outside Turkey itself, a human connection that has bound Turkey and the wider European community together since large-scale migration began in the 1960s.1 The questions of immigra- tion, citizenship, integration, assimilation, and social exchange sparked by this migra- tion and the establishment of permanent Turkish diaspora communities in Europe have long been politically sensitive. Conservative and far-right parties in Europe have seized upon issues of migration and cultural diversity, often engaging in fearmonger- ing about immigrant communities and playing upon some Europeans’ anxiety about rapid demographic change. Relations between the European Union—as well as many of its constituent member states—and Turkey have deteriorated dramatically in recent years. And since 2014, Turks abroad, in Europe and elsewhere around the world, have been able to vote in Turkish elections, leading to active campaigning by some Turkish leaders in European countries. For these and several other reasons, political and aca- demic interest in the Turkish diaspora and its interactions -

SAYI 36 • 2010 OSMANLI ARAŞTIRMALARI THE JOURNAL OF OTTOMAN STUDIES Beyond Dominant Paradigms in Ottoman and Middle Eastern / North African Studies A Tribute to Rifa‘at Abou-El-Haj Misafir Editörler / Guest Editors Donald Quataert and Baki Tezcan ‘Mad’ about Kemalism: An Early Republican Satire Christine Philliou* Few paradigms have seemed as thoroughly dominant as the Kemalist para- digm in Turkey since the 1920s. Adherence to this paradigm has required the uncritical acceptance not only of the values and practices of laicism and progress in the national present, but the stark version of history that came to accompany and underpin Kemalism—namely that in the 1920s there was an abrupt and successful reorientation of Turkey from “east” to “west,” from the darkness of superstition and religion to the light of progress and science.1 “East” was associated with, among other things, the Arabic and Persian languages, a range of Islamic practices and beliefs, and most manifestations of tradition as it had been perceived up to that point. Indeed virtually anything associated with the Ottoman past came to be understood as backward and in conflict with the new and modern Kemalist Turkey, and therefore lacking in value. In this light Atatürk’s legal and social reforms—such as the discouragement of the headscarf and the prohibition of the fez, and the alphabet reform which shifted the of- ficial language for Turkish from Arabic to a modified Latin script—were * Columbia University. 1 See, for instance, the Preface and Chapter 9 of Michael Meeker, A Nation of Em- pire: The Ottoman Legacy of Turkish Modernity (Berkeley: University of Califor- nia Press, 2002) for an incisive discussion of this process and a critique of how this history is presented in Bernard Lewis, The Emergence of Modern Turkey (London: Oxford University Press, 1961). -
Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New
Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania. -

The paper explores the ebb and flow of the shifting tides of ethnicity in the state: What ethnic groups have been the major contributors to labor in Californian agriculture and what roles have they played? The author challenges the reader to consider the parallelism between land and labor exploitation and further explores local organizations that have been created to bring alterna- tives both in the management of the land as well as in the creation of oppor- tunities for agricultural laborers. more than a half century before (Fugita, Justice in the Fields 1978).

DECONSTRUCTING AMERICA: READING JOHN STEINBECK ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ JBoctor of $IitlDfi;opI)p IN ENGLISH \ BY MANISH SINGH UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. MADIHUR REHMAN DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2013 Abstract The first chapter of the thesis, "The Path to Doom: America from Idea to Reality;'" takes the journey of America from its conception as an idea to its reality. The country that came into existence as a colony of Great Britain and became a refuge of the exploited and the persecuted on one hand and of the outlaws on other hand, soon transformed into a giant machine of exploitation, persecution and lawlessness, it is surprising to see how the noble ideas of equality, liberty and democracy and pursuit of happiness degenerated into callous profiteering. Individuals insensitive to the needs and happiness of others and arrogance based on a sense of racial superiority even before they take root in the virgin soil of the Newfoundland. The effects cf this degenerate ideology are felt not only by the Non-White races within America and the less privileged countries of the third world, but even by the Whites within America. The concepts of equality, freedom, democracy and pursuit of happiness were manufactured and have been exploited by the American ruling class.The first one to experience the crawling effects of the Great American Dream were original inhabitants of America, the Red Indians and later Blacks who were uprooted from their home and hearth and taken to America as slaves. -
