An analyse on immigration and immigrant literature in our literature

Summary/Abstract: It is not possible to think of migration, as a social fact, without having its own place in the literature, at least thematically. In this context, from the first oral literature samples until today, “migration” has been reflected to literary production. From “oral epics” of the verbal times to the so called “immigrant literature” of today, literature uses the phenomenon of migration for deciding the theme and creating rhetorical. The critical question at this point is whether the relationship between literature and migration is the mean or the purpose. Poets and writers sometimes bring and make use of migration in their works, and they sometimes establish an independent literary environment through immigrant representatives. Today, the bi-directional relationship between literature and migration has become more obvious. In this article, specific to Turkish literature, we will discuss dimensions of literature- migration relationship (which is quite apparent) by using historical and sociological methods and how they benefit from each other. We found that if one must name the literature and deter-mine its scope, various immigrant literature should be evaluated in a holistic-comparative way.
