Re-migration of Crimean Tartars
During my fellowship I intend to deepen my research and extend the context of PhD thesis. I am going to study how the Crimean Tatars returnees dealt with homecoming and adaptation. Upon arriving back in their native land, Crimean Tatars found themselves in the position of being a colonized indigenous people in a settler colony, having returned to an area now dominated by Russian culture and a Russian-speaking population. Furthermore, after arrival to Crimea second and third generations of Crimean Tatars born in exile reimagined the homeland they never saw. The result of my research will be a draft of the book.
