 Abstract

As the borders of Europe slowly expand to include Turkey, the country finds itself in the position of having to strengthen its own walls. With the continuing conflict in Syria, this issue has become urgent. Merve Bedir traces the last 100 years of migration in Turkey, and how it has dealt with varying flows of refugees and immigrants. Away from the refugee camp with its clear borders and rations, Bedir questions the condition of the urban refugee, a precarious existence within a state of exception, and to what degree resistance might be possible.
