An extraordinarily rich account of the lives of Turkish men and women living in contemporary Germany, "Conceptualising 'Home'" offers striking insights into how members of a marginalized immigrant community make room for themselves and reconstruct homes away from home. Based on in-depth interviews, the volume places the life experiences of Turkish people into a broader theoretical perspective, while Esin Bozkurt's careful attention to gender and generational differences ensures an accurate, balanced representation. The result is a surprisingly useful understanding of the very idea of 'home'.
Esin Bozkurt studied issues of culture, identity, belonging, migration, and gender at Istanbul Bilgi University, Turkey.
