Forging Diasporic Citizenship: Narratives from German-Born Turkish Ausl舅der (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780774866118)

Offers a sophisticated understanding of how Turkish diasporic people experience citizenship in Germany.

Around the world, a new kind of citizenship is appearing, especially among diasporic people such as German-born Berliners of Turkish origin. Drawing on interviews conducted over fifteen years, Forging Diasporic Citizenship explores the dynamics of everyday life for these Ausl舅der (or "outsiders"), German-born citizens of Turkish origin. In this work of narrative research, G? ﾇaliskan explores the tensions between the experience of displacement and the politics of accommodation as Ausl舅der make claims to citizenship, articulate the ways they are rooted, and seek to achieve recognition. Through examining the social encounters, life events, and everyday practices of these German-born Ausl舅der, Forging Diasporic Citizenship constructs a theoretically sophisticated, transnationally applicable hypothesis regarding the nature of modern citizenship and multiculturalism.
