Recenzii

'Meticulously researched and heartbreakingly told, Balkan's analysis of 'death out of place' for Muslims of Turkish and Kurdish descent in Germany is original, important, and unforgettable.' Neda Maghbouleh, University of Toronto Mississauga
'What happens to those who die 'out of place'? Dying Abroad is a remarkable, eloquent and extensively researched study in which Balkan demonstrates that death, dying, and posthumous acts of burial, bereavement, repatriation, and memorialization are contested processes for migrant Muslim communities in Europe, and constitute complex negotiations of social, political, religious, and cultural membership and belonging.' Lisa Lowe, Yale University
'Dying Abroad is an exciting read! With his precise, eloquent language and observations, Osman Balkan gives us an insightful and personal account of 'death out of place'. His book provides an important window into contemporary social and political orders and the role that end-of-life practices play in the negotiation of manifold boundaries in transnational lives.' Finn Stepputat, Danish Institute for International Studies
