The story of one remarkable woman, Leyla, a mother, who has struggled against pain and shame to live a life that makes her proud and which also inspires others. Using her story, In Pursuit of Belonging enhances our understanding of key issues in the anthropology of ethics and migration.

Belonging is a not a state that we achieve, but a struggle that we wage. The struggle for belonging is more difficult if one is returning to a homeland after many years abroad. In Pursuit of Belonging is an ethnography of Turkish migrants’ struggle for understanding, intimacy and appreciation when they return from Germany to their Turkish homeland. 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.
