ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s diaspora community in Turkey. The analysis focuses on the diasporic formation in the aftermath of the 2013 military coup d’état, emerging questions of identity and belonging, and competing strategies against repression. By focusing on the individual level and on diasporic identification, the analysis provides an understanding of the movement’s trajectories after 2013. These trajectories show that the Brotherhood’s experience of forced exile allows for the renegotiation of the relationship between the members and the movement, generating the potential for internal change and organisational renewal.
