Why do so many Turkish migrants choose to make their fortune in
America when the proximity of Europe makes it a less costly risk?
Here Lisa DiCarlo offers us new insights into the study of identity
and migration. She draws on research and the history of the Black
Sea region going back to the early years of the modern Turkish
Republic, to explain current Turkish labor migration trends.
The forced ethnic migration between Greece and Turkey at the end
of the Ottoman Empire stripped the Black Sea region of its artisans
and merchants, weakening the economy and resulting in a trend of
migration from this area. Through extensive field research Lisa
DiCarlo reveals the kinship between Greeks and Turks originally
from the Black Sea region. She argues current transnational chain
migration from this area is led by regional identity over
ethnicity. This strong regional bond leads Turkish migrants from
the Black Sea region to follow Greek Black Sea migrants across the
Atlantic to America, rather than their Turkish compatriots to
Europe.
