Turkey's Syrians: Today and Tomorrow (Migration)

Turkey's Syrians: Today and Tomorrow, edited by Deniz Eroglu Utku, K. Onur Unutulmaz, Ibrahim Sirkeci is published by Transnational Press London.The book presents a selection of papers drawing on recent research on Syrian refugees in Turkey. Since the first arrival of Syrian refugees, the issue has sparked considerable national and international interest. Political discourses concentrated on state ‘generosities’ to provide protection to those coming from insecurities and possibilities to reduce ‘burden of refugees’ to receiving countries via international solidarity. While these concerns focus on effects of hosting refugees, what happens to refugees themselves, how they are affected by government policies and how they are perceived by host country people are questions yet to be answered. This book brings together a multidisciplinary set of contributions scrutinising the case of Syrian refugees in Turkey.
