Journalist and author Ece Temelkuran left her home country of Turkey in 2016 out of fear of being arrested for criticizing the Erdoğan regime – a decision that left her “unhomed” not just physically, but morally, politically, and emotionally. Now, Temelkuran grapples with what it means to be unhomed in her new book, Nation of Strangers: Rebuilding Home in the 21st Century. Temelkuran discusses how Minneapolis is a precursor of what could happen if authoritarian forces are not stopped and also explains why immigrants may be uniquely positioned to play a crucial role in pushing back against the rise of fascism under the Trump administration. *This interview was published on zeteo.com over a week ago.
