Migration and Religion: Euro-Turks

Abstract

‘Euro-Turks’ or ‘Turks in Europe’ is one of the most significant issues in the contemporary academic and public agenda in Turkey. In fact, many sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, educationists and economists have produced publications on the experience of the Turks in Europe. The studies have focused on cultural identities, lifestyles, experiences, ideas, feelings, hopes and expectations of the Euro-Turks from various aspects. This book is an explanatory study which aims to discuss migration patterns, religious and identity discourses of Euro-Turks using a macro-sociological descriptive method. In this book, I have attempted to provide a comprehensive account of identity orientation, religious life and organizations of Euro-Turks.
