Azerbaijani Turk women’s resistance and the woman, life, freedom movement
The Grammar of Exclusion
This study employs a qualitative meta‐synthesis to explore how racial slurs function as mechanisms of symbolic violence and racial governance against Turks in Iran.

These slurs discipline Turkish identity, reinforcing a linguistic and cultural hie…

The innate Iranian dynamics and sociopolitical context is critically examined in the manifestation of this social phenomen…
