dc.description.abstract | The experiences of refugees have recently become a key theme in modern Turkish literature, as the refugee “crisis” has turned into a central issue for Turkey since the 2010s. This article explores contemporary Turkish literature’s engagement with the refugee experience and demonstrates how refugee narratives in Turkish literature transcend ideological divides to emphasize the human dimension of displacement. Through an analysis of three literary texts, Hakan Günday’s Daha (2013), Zülfü Livaneli’s Balıkçı ve Oğlu (2021), and Cemal Şakar’s “Kanadında Bir Kuşun” (2018), the article fleshes out the alignment of Turkish authors, both secular and conservative, in their thematic portrayal of refugees. By categorizing the selected texts as examples of contemporary refugee literature, the article also investigates their contribution to a broader literary tradition that has historically dealt with themes of displacement and suffering, thereby enriching the discourse on human dignity and social justice in the context of forced migration. | |
