Summary note
"This Handbook, the first of its kind, provides a rich overview of the socio-political issues and dynamics impacting Turkey's diasporic groups and diaspora policymaking. Turkey constitutes an important case study in the field of diaspora studies with a diaspora population of around 6.5 million. This Handbook, therefore, brings together emerging and established scholars to explore the central issues, actors, and processes relating to Turkey's diasporic groups and diaspora outreach. Taken together, the historical and contemporary analyses presented in this volume provide readers a multi-lens perspective on the trajectories of Turkey's diasporic communities and diaspora policymaking in a wide range of regional contexts, including Europe, North America, and Oceania. The Handbook comprises six analytical parts: - Contextualising Turkey's diasporas: past and present - Localisation, transnational belongings, and identity - Governing diasporas - Micro-spaces and everyday practices - Cultural production, aesthetics, and creativity - Country-specific perspectives The volume offers insights into the debates and processes that structure each of these thematic clusters, but also provides a comprehensive overview of the dynamics shaping Turkey's diverse diaspora populations today. The contributions encompass a range of disciplines, including anthropology, history, human geography, political science, international relations, and sociology, and the volume will be vital reading for anyone interested in Turkey, the Middle East, and diasporas"-- Provided by publisher.
