we live in a world or an increasing number of people involved in space mobility or transnational practices. Although we have a good knowledge of the transnational practices of immigrants, as well as of the mobile elite, we know less about the transnationalism of the second generation of migrants, especially in Europe. On the basis of interviews with second-generation Turks in Berlin, I will retrace their transnational ways of being and belonging through their life course. As children of immigrant workers, they have been socialised across borders and still live in a transnational life in adulthood. They engage in transnational ways, for example by visiting Turkey regularly. They also present transnational forms of belonging, identifying themselves as both German and Turkish. However, there were also periods in their lives when they withdrew from transnational practices and rejected transnational identification. This is closely linked to feelings of rejection by (indigenous) members of Germany, but also Turkey.
