Özet:

 This article, which focuses on the experiences of Turkish immigrants living in Italy, examines how the migration process paves the way for living together with differences and for cultural, social and economic change. As part of a qualitative study, data was collected through interviews with 50 Turkish immigrants using a snowball sample and participant observation. The results show how Turkish immigrants maintain their differences in Italy and how these differences are maintained in an intertwined environment that is mutually beneficial. Immigrants do not tend to suppress other identities in order to prove their identity. On the contrary, they enrich the social structure by passing on their cultural values. This situation allows both the immigrants to express themselves and the natives to learn about other cultures. The interaction between Turkish and Italian society breaks down prejudices and strengthens the sense of common life. This article shows how living together with differences strengthens the common life and how it contributes to the immigrants adaptation processes to the new way of life.

 İtalyada yaşayan Türk göçmenlerin deneyimlerini ele alan bu çalışma, göç sürecinin kültürel, sosyal ve ekonomik dönüşümlerle birlikte nasıl farklılıklarla bir arada yaşama yolunu açtığını incelemektedir. Nitel bir araştırma olarak, kartopu örneklemiyle 50 Türkiyeli göçmenle yapılan görüşmeler ve katılımcı gözlem yoluyla veri toplanmıştır. Bulgular, Türk göçmenlerin, İtalyada farklılıklarını muhafaza ederek, bu farklılıkların birbirini besleyen bir iç içe geçmişlik içinde nasıl sürdürüldüğünü göstermektedir. Göçmenler, kimliklerini kanıtlama adına öteki kimlikleri baskı altına alma eğiliminde değildir. Aksine, kültürel değerlerini paylaşarak toplumsal yapıyı zenginleştirirler. Bu durum, hem göçmenlerin kendilerini ifade etmelerine hem de yerel halkın farklı kültürleri tanımasına olanak tanır. Türk ve İtalyan toplumu arasındaki etkileşim, önyargıları azaltarak ortak yaşam duygusunun güçlenmesini sağlar. Bu makale, farklılıklarla birlikte yaşamanın birlikte, ortak bir yaşamı nasıl güçlendirdiğini ve göçmenlerin yeni yaşam biçimlerine uyum sağlama süreçlerine ne şekilde katkı sağladığını ortaya koymaktadır.
