Turkish Muslim Women in Berlin

Kulkul presents her ethnographic work with Turkish Muslim women in Berlin as evidence that community is not an entity, but is produced by instrumentalizing specific forms of identification and boundary-making. A valuable read for scholars of migration and culture, which will especially interest scholars focussed on Europe.
