"Exiled Intellectuals: Encounters, Conflicts, and Experiences in Transnational Context" delves into the reproducing the everyday life, resistances, and solidarity potentials of “new-exile” intellectuals against neoliberal authoritarianism and the rising far right. Turkey, as one of the first countries to experience extreme/far-right governance, has aligned itself with the Janus-faced approach of global capitalism towards democracy. This far-right governance targets intellectuals, restricts intellectual production, and criminalizes dissent, leading to a phenomenon that is termed 'new-exile.' This phenomenon is inherently multifaceted, involving a complex interplay between economic, political, and social dimensions. It challenges traditional distinctions between forced and voluntary migration, emphasizing the intertwined economic and political factors. This book, edited by four academics for peace who are themselves part of this "new-exile," examines post-Gezi political migration and aims to document this era and amplify the voices of the exiled through their own narratives. The first volume focuses on the initial two categories of the new exile: academics and journalists. Latife Akyüz is a senior research fellow at the European University Viadrina.
