The struggle for belonging is more difficult if one is returning to a homeland after many years abroad.

Drawing on an established tradition of life story writing in anthropology, Rottmann conveys the struggle to forge an ethical life by relating the experiences of a second-generation German-Turkish woman named Leyla.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Belonging is a not a state that we achieve, but a struggle that we wage.
