Abstract [en]

Migration has been a transformative experience for many Kurdish migrants who have fled Turkey and attempted to shake off their imposed Turkish identity and/or alter their pattern of identification with the Turkish state. Against this background and based on qualitative inquiry and interviews with thirty Kurdish migrants in Sweden and the United Kingdom, this chapter will investigate politics of belonging among the Kurds of Turkey, engage with the ways they have experienced Turkish assimilation policies, and assign meanings to these experiences in diasporic contexts. Moreover, this chapter will explore the politics and limits of resistance that attempt to subvert Turkish assimilation discourses and reclaim Kurdishness in the context of political violence and denial in Turkey.
