Dying Abroad: The Political Afterlives of Migration in Europe

Building on multi-sited fieldwork in Berlin and Istanbul—where Balkan worked as an undertaker—Dying Abroad offers a moving account of migrants’ end-of-life dilemmas, vividly illustrating how they are connected to ongoing political struggles over the stakes of citizenship, belonging, and collective identity in Europe.
