"If my feet are in Amsterdam, my head and heart are in Turkey."
This is the dilemma of the Turkish "guestworkers" in Christine
Ogan's fascinating new work on the Netherland's migrant population.
Ogan explores the explosive impact the Turkish media has had on
this particular diasporic community as they struggle to adapt to
life in the West and to redefine their personal and collective
identity. Never before have people who lived in adopted lands had
such immediate and pervasive access to information and
entertainment from their birth countries. Communication and
Identity documents how these newly available communication media
have enabled migrants to maintain a connection with their ethnic
culture, a psychological comfort zone that minimizes estrangement
from Turkey, and exacerbates the separation from Dutch public life.
Not only a superb case study on how the Netherlands' Turkish
community defines itself, this remarkable book's message resonates
across the wider European debate currently raging on immigration.
