Global Processes of Flight and Migration
The case studies in this volume illustrate the global dimension of flight and migration movements with a special focus on South-South migration. Thirteen chapters shed light on transcontinental or regional migration processes, as well as on long-term processes of arrival and questions of belonging. Flight and migration are social phenomena. They are embedded in individual, familial and collective histories on the level of nation states, regions, cities or we-groups. They are also closely tied up with changing border regimes and migration policies. The explanatory power of case studies stems from analyzing these complex interrelations. Case studies allow us to look at both “common” and “rare” migration phenomena, and to make systematic comparisons. On the basis of in-depth fieldwork, the authors in this volume challenge dichotomous distinctions between flight and migration, look at changing perspectives during processes of migration, consider those who stay, and counter political and media discourses which assume that Europe, or the Global North in general, is the pivot of international migration.

From Darkness Into Light
'Knowledge is unlimited. Even a lifetime is not enough for it.' Quotes, 22. Beginning with a rich collection of poetry - from powerful, heart-wrenching poems like 'My Mother and My Child' to the uplifting 'Be Patient' - Ebru Yarkin weaves a tapestry of every human emotion. Laugh, cry, empathise and smile at verse not only beautifully crafted but with the extraordinary power to speak to you directly, to your memory, and to your imagination. Her Manis folk songs are wondrous and spirited, singing of love, sorrow, joy and friendship. The page seems to hum and the print seems to dance with the vibrancy of these magical lyric verses.

Ebru Yarkin has used her unique talents to create an absorbing volume which will leave an indelible mark upon the reader.
Street-Level Governing
Muhtars, the lowest level elected political position in Turkey, hold an ambiguously defined place within the administrative hierarchy. They are public officials, but local citizens do not always associate them with the central government. Street-Level Governing is the first book to investigate how muhtars carry out their role—not only what they are supposed to do, but how they actually operate—to provide an ethnographic study of the state as viewed from its margins. It starts from the premise that the seeming "margin" of state administration is not peripheral at all, but instructive as to how it functions. As Elise Massicard shows, muhtars exist at the intersection of everyday life and t...
