Opis

Challenging the commonplace that suspends migrants "between two worlds," this study turns a refreshingly curious eye to complex cultural relations and literary novelties wrought by Turkish migration to Germany as the world at large turns to a new telling of time.

Recenzje

"In this imaginative and original study, devoted to the literature of

Turkish migrants in post-1989 Germany, Leslie Adelson shows how

sociological as well as cultural generalizations about "the Turks" and

"the Turkish migrants" are caught in narratives exacerbating otherness.

She pleads for moving beyond the trope of migrant literature "caught

between two worlds" to examine the "touching tales" of intertwinement,

affection and affiliation voiced in this new Turkish literature." - Seyla Benhabib, Yale University
