The reflection of the migration and social change in Turkish novel

The migration movement has a multifaceted dimension. Many different migration movements have been defined by the researchers. Migration, which is a movement of displacement, is not instantaneous and represents a process. The concept of social change, on the other hand, refers to the great changes in the social structure and a change that occurs in the cultural structures of societies. There is a relationship between social or cultural changes and migration movement. This relationship has taken its place in the Turkish novel. The causes of migration, urbanization processes of migrants and social / cultural changes they experience are the subject of the novels. The social/cultural changes experienced in novels about internal migration and novels about external migration differ from each other. In this study, the reflection of social changes caused by migration and urbanization on Turkish novel is discussed. Keywords: Migration, Urbanization, Social Change, Turkish Novel
