Rosita Di Peri and Chiara Maritato’s article in De Europa, volume 7 issue 1 (2024), examines Lebanese Turkmen transnational identity practices. It draws on extensive fieldwork by the authors in both Lebanon and Turkey.
The authors jointly analyze Turkey’s episodic interventions framed through kinship, culture and pragmatism, and the Lebanese state’s limited service presence in marginal areas. This is a political-science interpretation, not a single identity definition attributable to every community member.
