Intergroup Contact in Neighborhoods

By Aisha Ata Shaqfa

Turkey has been the largest hosting country for Syrian refugees, with more than 3.5 million Syrian refugees who have become a part of the Turkish society. Accordingly, intergroup contact between Turkish and Syrians who share the same neighbouring settings has been inevitable. Hence, in this book, the author examines the intergroup contact, prejudice, anxiety, empathy, and attitudes between Turkish and Syrian neighbours. This book presents practical recommendations for policymakers in Turkey, in particular, and in the multicultural societies in general based on a long process of collecting and analyzing qualitative data, and with the author's belief in the importance of integration of all the refugees around the world in their hosting societies.
