Abstract: This thesis analyzes the construction of children of Iranian asylum-seekers’ national and religious identity who are dwelling in Kayseri provisionally. Identity construction of the children was based on a ‘flexible’ and ‘malleable’ ground in the research. The research was conducted through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with a selected group of participants. The participants belong to two different religious cohorts, Shi’is and Baha’is. Within the scope of the research question, national sentiment and religiosity of the children were investigated profoundly by taking into consideration of related identity theories. In addition, childhood experiences of the children were examined in order to find out if there is any interplay between childhood experiences and national and religious identities. |
