Özet
Existing studies on Syrian refugees in Turkey focused either on the difficulties
refugees have been experiencing or on how refugee identities have been unilaterally
transformed during their interaction with the host culture. Drawing on the literature
on identity and politics of recognition, this chapter argues that intercultural encounters
transform the identities, values, and norms of both host communities and refugees.
The analysis is based on semi-structured interviews with non-camp Syrian refugees
and local citizens in the cities of Mersin and Adana to uncover the interactions of
refugees and the host society, focusing on intercultural encounters at diverse settings,
including classrooms, schools, campuses, hospitals, and neighborhoods. The chapter
reveals that recognition of diverse cultures, respect, empathy, and social support
influence intercultural interactions in a positive way. It also shows that reflexivity
and the willingness to interact on the part of both refugees and the host culture
facilitate interactions and negotiations between them.
