"TURKS IN EUROPE:
FROM A GARBLED IMAGE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF
MIGRANT SOCIAL REALITY
(bibliography)
Abstract
The expatriate Turkish population in Europe currently stands at 3 million, yet is still one of the lesser known immigrant communities. Its superficial image as a withdrawn, religious, culturally conservative community is to due to the influence of some social scientists and mass media on credulous public opinion on the one hand and to the historical, social, economic and cultural specificity of this immigrant group on the other hand. The complex social phenomenon of Turkish immigration in Europe is connected to the Turkish people's self-image, the formation of new individual and collective identities, and the conception of integration spread by its 'silent majority'."
