In the fiction and nonfiction gathered here, members of diaspora communities in Europe navigate multiple languages, cultures, and sets of societal expectations. Dinçer Güçyeter’s kindergartner does his best to support his Turkish guest-worker parents in Germany; Igiaba Scego’s narrator describes how her Somali family has remained close despite the distances—and languages—dividing them; and Raoul de Jong considers his Surinamese father’s immigrant experience in the Netherlands.
