| Özet: | Hometown (hemşehri)organisations are associations and foundations regrouping people from the same place or memleket[village, town, county]. The current thematic issue also deals with organisations regrouping migrants [göçmen] from the ‘Turkish World’, mainly the Balkans and the Caucasus. In Turkey, hometown organisations have appeared in the 1940s and grown incessantly since then, even more so since the 1990’s; therefore this phenomenon cannot be treated as a mere transitional consequence of the urbanisation process. The authors not only deal with hemşehrilik as a - often ‘naturalized’ - social link, but especially with the organisations asserting it: their importance in the Turkish political – and not only social – landscape informs us about the ways of politisation, patterns of discourse and political action in contemporary Turkey. |
