The paper presents a study on the solidarity networks of undocumented Afghan male migrants in Istanbul. The research was conducted between August 2015 and June 2020 in the migrant districts of Beykoz, Zeytinburnu and Fatih. The study found that Afghan migrants are excluded from existing local solidarity networks and instead form their own networks as a survival strategy. The study posits that there are three primary solidarity networks knitted by locals, which are ‘family’, ‘hometown’ and ‘neighbourhood’. We argue that the foundation of the solidarity networks among the locals is their shared language(s), mutual recognition, shared socio‐historical background and unofficial trust, making it difficult for newcomers to become a part of this solidarity. Afghan migrants are unable to access these networks, which aggravates their social exclusion. They use their social exclusion as a survival strategy and continue with their migration aspirations.

远离家乡并被排除在当地团结网络之外：伊斯坦布尔的无证阿富汗移民男子

该论文提出了一项关于伊斯坦布尔无证阿富汗男性移民团结网络的研究。这项研究于 2015 年 8 月至 2020 年 6 月期间在 Beykoz、Zeytinburnu 和 Fatih 等移民区进行。研究发现，阿富汗移民被排除在现有的当地团结网络之外，而是建立自己的网络作为生存策略。研究认为，当地人编织了三个主要的团结网络，即“家庭”、“家乡”和“邻里”。我们认为，当地人之间的团结网络的基础是他们的共同语言、相互承认、共同的社会历史背景和非正式的信任，这使得新来者很难成为这种团结的一部分。阿富汗移民无法进入这些网络，这加剧了他们的社会排斥。他们利用社会排斥作为生存策略，并继续实现移民愿望。
