The Question of Belonging Among Turkish Families in Germany

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sechs türkische Familien in Deutschland sprechen über ihre Vorstellungen von Heimat. Frauen und Männer aus drei Generationen schildern, wo sie sich ethnisch, kulturell, religiös und national zugehörig fühlen. Die individuellen Migrationserfahrungen und Lebensumstände führen zu vielfältigen Formen der Selbstverortung. Einmal mehr wird hier deutlich, wie eng Integration, Identifikation und Anerkennung miteinander verknüpft sind.
