Bringing together interviews with refugees from the period, analysing the cultural products by and on them, and tracing their footsteps in newspapers, archives, and scholarly literature, this book presents a thorough ethnography of Iranians in transit in Turkey after the 1979 Revolution. Their story provides an example to how laws are made and challenged by the very people they are made to regulate. With the formation of the EU and its border regime Frontex, Turkey has solidified its role both as a border guard and a transit country. This book provides an introduction to understanding the dynamics of this current "refugee crisis."
