Miriam Geerse focuses on individuals and families that tried to sustain meaningful lives in an urban context marked by political and structural violence. Geerse argues that forces related to, but other than war and forced displacement, instilled in many forced migrants a pressing need and desire to keep hammering home the price and pain of displacement. Much of this book then bears to the formation of an oppositional consciousness. Geerse’s analysis of the mobilization of social capital in times of illness and social conflict offers an understanding of how the dispersed community of people who shared the same stories functioned in an inhospitable urban environment. In tracing all the periods of the forced displacement, and in laying bare their interconnections, Geerse provides insight to activists striving to improve the position of Kurds, to academics studying the impact of forced migration and other forms of political violence on civilians, and to all those who argue for a more balanced view of the recent history of Turkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Dealing with Near Totalizing Experiences: Perspectives on Politically-Induced Displacement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Displaced from Alimler: A Story from A to Z\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: ‘The State’, ‘The PKK’ and ‘The People’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Leaving the Village and Settling in the City\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Urban Troubles, Urban Support?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Health Matters: The Benefits and Drawbacks of ‘The Social’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Conflict, Capital and Control: “We Solved That One Too”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Turkish Displacements - Emplacing ‘Matters out of Place’\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041996931415,"sku":"9781666902594","price":86.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666902594.jpg?v=1750952542","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-everyday-violence-of-forced-displacement-memory-community-and-identity-politics-among-internally-displaced-kurds-in-turkey-9781666902594","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
