Anyone who has studied international migration to Western Europe
should be familiar with Nermin Abadan-Unat, who has been a central
figure in charting Turkish labor migration to Germany, the
Netherlands, France, and other European countries since the early
1960s. In addition, she has made major contributions to the broader
social sciences. She is especially known for her research on the
position of women-in Turkey, in international migration, and in
processes of social development . . . Her many books and scientific
articles span the social sciences, and this has given her the
ability to make linkages and to unravel complex processes of
development, modernization, and globalization. From the Foreword
One of the foremost scholars on Turkish migration, the author
offers in this work the summary of her experiences and research on
Turkish migration since 1963. During these forty years her aim has
been threefold: to explain the journeys made by thousands of
Turkish men and women to foreign lands out of choice, necessity, or
invitation; to shed light on the difficulties they faced; and to
elaborate on how their lives were affected by the legal, political,
social, and economic measures in the countries where they settled.
The extensive research done both in Turkey and in Europe into the
lives of individuals directly and indirectly affected by the
migration phenomenon and the examination of these research results
further enhances the value of this wide-ranging study as a
definitive reference work.
