Migration and its Impact on Rural Communities in Western Turkey Tuesday 22 May 2012 - The Graduate Institute - Voie-Creuse 3rd Floor CV342 Dr Gabriele Rasuly-Paleczek
"In this presentation I am to highlight to impact on migration on a rural community in Western Turkey. While the majority of migrant studies either focused on migrants moving to Turkish cities or Western Europe, rather few studies focus on the rural communities themselves and how the latter were effected. Based on extensive field studies conducted during the mid-1970ies and early 1980ies (and a brief revisit in 2012) in a mountain village some 30 km distant from Bursa – one of Turkey´s booming industrial center – I shall demonstrate the social and economic impact of migration upon that village. In addition, I shall focus on the manifold relations between migrants and those left behind. For both groups the continuation of these relations constituted an important asset".
