Abstract

Politiseringen af transnationale forbindelser, som blænder for og polariserer vores opfattelse af migranter og udviklingsaktiviteter i afsendersamfundet. Den nuværende opblomstring af hjemstavnsforeninger for en række kurdiske landsbyer i Tyrkiet skal således snarere forbindes med en mere bevidst transnationale landsbyfællesskaber, end med polarisering blandt migranter. Denne polarisering skaber på den ene side udviklingsaktører og på den anden side integrationsaktivister. Sociale overførsler - idéer, normer og praksisformer, som migranter tager med tilbage til afsendersamfundet anerkendes ikke som overførsler, der fører til udvikling. Det bidrager til at der skabes en sådan polarisering.
