Writing this, I am sitting at a table in the library of a tertiary vocational school in
Zwolle, a medium size Dutch city. I am surrounded by the descendants of immigrants from Turkey. They have no idea I am writing about them, much less that I
understand, and admire, how they are talking in a creative half-Turkish half-Dutch
argot. I catch their discussions, which are about everything ranging from the exams
next week to the annoying boss at a bijbaan1
; from worries about finding an apprenticeship to Turkish TV heartthrob Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ’s acting in last night’s episode;
from the latest iPhone features to plans for next summer’s holiday in Istanbul; plus
a whole lot of gossip about friends in between. Listening in on these conversions, I
cannot help but wonder why doubts about these young people’s integration dominate current public debates rather than questions about their daily realities: the
obstacles that they encounter at school and on the labour market; how they navigate
these barriers and how they negotiate the multiple frames of references that enrich
their lives. This book seeks to answer these questions, which have indisputable
present-day urgency though actually began being asked decades ago.
