Uyum Sağlamışların İkilemi: Hollanda’daki İkinci Kuşak Türkiye Kökenli Göçmenlerin Beklentileri

Bu çalışma, Hollanda’daki Türkiye kökenli birinci ve ikinci kuşak göçmenlere odaklanarak; ekonomik eşitsizliklerin, çokkültürlü toplumlardaki azınlık gruplarının aidiyet hislerini nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir. Bu araştırma, Türkiye kökenli göçmenlerin Hollanda toplumuna aidiyetlerinin farklı faktörlerden farklı şekillerde etkilendiği sonucuna ulaşmıştır. Birinci kuşak Türkiye kökenli göçmenler kültürel ayrımcılık, ötekileştirme ve ekonomik yoksunluk konularındaki rahatsızlıklarını ifade etmişlerdir. İkinci kuşak Türkiye kökenli göçmenler ise Hollanda toplumunda daha prestijli işlere sahip olma konusundaki kısıtlamalardan dolayı görece yoksunluk hissi yaşamaktadırlar. Birinci kuşağın sorunlarını kültürel ayrımcılık ve yoksunluk özetlerken; ikinci kuşağın sorunlarını görece yoksunluk yaklaşımı ifade etmektedir. Araştırma bulguları Hollanda’daki Türkiye kökenli 37 göçmenle Amsterdam, Rotterdam ve Maastricht şehirlerinde Ocak-Nisan 2011 tarihleri arası yapılan derinlemesine görüşmelere dayanmaktadır.

The Dilemma of Integrated: Expectations of Second Generation Immi-grants from Turkey in the Netherlands

This article examines the role of economic inequalities in the minority groups’ belonging practices in the multicultural societies. This investigation is conducted in the context of the Netherlands with specific focus on the first and second-generation immigrants from Turkey. This study found out that different factors affect Turkish immigrants’ belonging practices differently. While the first generation immigrants complain about cultural discrimination, marginalization and economic deprivation, second generation immigrants complain more about relative deprivation and discrimination in terms of their opportunities to access more prestigious positions in Dutch society and more elite professions. While grievance theory presents a better tool to understand the plight of second generation, explanations related to cultural discrimination and deprivation are more useful for understanding the concerns of the first generation Turkish immigrants.  The analysis is based on in-depth interviews in cities of Amsterdam, Maastricht and Rotterdam with 37 immigrants from Turkey in between January to April 2011.
