The Turkish translation of my book is coming soon! It tells the history of Turkish migration to Germany from the 1960s to 1990s, focusing on migrants who returned to Turkey. It exposes German racism and shows how the migrants gradually came to feel "foreign in two homelands." tinyurl.com/kahnbk.

Can someone #AHA25 please go into the boutique and ask how expensive this cape is? I’m afraid to talk to salespeople, but I need to know if I can afford it with my per diem.
