This book is another study on the issue of workers’ migration. It concentrates mainly on the problems the new generations face when they return home and their struggle to become accepted by the society and to adapt themselves to a different way of life in Turkey.

I can assure you that you will be astonished to read some of the stories in this book, which are based on real life experiences of high school students they have shared with me during my interviews.
