Abstract:
"In the 1990s over a million Turkish Kurds were displaced from Southeastern Turkey. By focusing on the forced migrants' stories and on their mobilization of social capital in times of illness and conflict, Geerse shows how they tried to sustain meaningful lives in urban contexts marked by political and structural violence"--
