This book focuses on the sociological dynamics of two of the most
important Turkish immigration waves to the United States. It
describes the wave of early Turkish immigration during the early
19th century and the most recent from the late 20th century.
Although a few historians have studied the topic (Karpat, 1985;
Acehan, 2005; Micallef, 2004; and Akcapar, 2009), this study
utilizes extant international migration and adaptation theories to
explore issues related to Turkish immigration to the United States
and the outcome explains Turkish immigration to the United States
from a distinctly sociological point of view. This book also
enlightens the concepts of identity formation across Turkish
American generations and analyzes vital distinctions between first
and second generation immigrants with regard to their
acculturation. Moreover, this book contributes to discussions on
cultural tourism, international business relations, and the
cultural market. In addition to that, the meaning of race, the
existing theories of race, and how the construction of whiteness
are points of interest in this book. Finally, the emphasis on
intermarriage, religion, and Turkish identity are analyzed.
