This second volume is devoted to two further categories of new exile: politicians and artists, highlighting a diversity and dynamism shaped by class, gender, race and more. It covers both the recent politics in Turkey which have forced such migration and the subjective experiences of the recently exiled in a new land. It focuses on the challenges, precarities and practices of solidarity in the production and reproduction of everyday, professional, political and artistic life under such circumstances. In addition to ethnographic, empirical auto-ethnographic and regional contributions focusing on these experiences, it also provides a theoretical framework for understanding the reasons behind new-wave forced political migration. It becomes clear that, for the new exile, whether staying or returning to their homeland, time and space are no longer fixed. But the cumulative effects of life in dual times and spaces will perhaps open the door to an invisible continent. Latife Akyüz is a senior research fellow at the European University Viadrina.
