Whether the impetus behind this promotion is related to admission to the European Union or to domestic concerns, it is not clear. However, it is clear that the Afro-Turks, unlike native Christians, Jews, or Kurds, represent a minority that the Turkish government and media can promote without inflaming Turkish nationalist sentiments. In this paper I also aim to center Afro-Turks themselves within the discussions surrounding their identity
