Turkic people have been migrating to America for many centuries,
but this significant influx has been largely unrecognized. In "From
Anatolia to Appalachia, Scolnick and Kennedy initiate a dialogue
regarding this neglected area of American history and culture. This
volume begins the communication with an essay reviewing existing
evidence followed by interviews with knowledgeable persons about
selected aspects of the population movements. An introduction and
conclusion give focus and unity to the various elements of the
dialogue. It is anticipated that this and subsequent volumes
will(1) give information regarding studies of the movements of
Turkic peoples to America; (2) broaden understanding of American
history and society; (3) allow many, especially in the Southeast
Atlantic region of the US, to better appreciate their background
and place in American society; (4) stimulate interest in the main
subject or aspects of it, both in the US and abroad; (5) tie
together disparate aspects of the subject as well as the persons
studying them; and(6) add to the general knowledge regarding
migrations of peoples over many centuries. In sum, this dialogue
intends not only to inform and interest others, but also to pull
together available research on the subject and stimulate new
research in this and related areas of study.
