“The cogency of the book is due to two exceptional qualities: the unrivalled hands-on information of the author and the outstanding longitudinal perspective she has accumulated through the decades…an excellent genealogy of Turkish migration. It is a must-have reference book for scholars, students and practitioners interested in Turkish migration to Europe.” • Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law “…an invaluable reference work for scholars in the social sciences and the humanities.” • Journal of Contemporary European Studies Anyone who has studied international migration to Western Europe should be familiar with Nermin Abadan-Unat, who has been a central figure in charting Turkish labor migration to Germany, the Netherlands, France, and other European countries since the early 1960s. In addition, she has made major contributions to the broader social sciences. She is especially known for her research on the position of women—in Turkey, in international migration, and in processes of social development… Her many books and scientific articles span the social sciences, and this has given her the ability to make linkages and to unravel complex processes of development, modernization, and globalization.
