Mit dem Aufwachsen einer zweiten Migrantengeneration in der BRD sind auch für die deutsche Gesellschaft die Fragen relevant geworden, die für alle Einwanderungsgesellschaften von zentraler Bedeutung sind: Was bedeutet Integration, was Ausgrenzung? Woran entscheidet es sich, ob Integration gelingt oder der Weg in die Randständigkeit bis hin zur dauerhaften Ausgrenzung führt? Diese Fragen wurden für die zweite Generation türkischer Migrantinnen und Migranten in den Dimensionen Arbeit, soziale Netzwerke und Wohnen untersucht. Die Studie stützt sich zum einen auf Interviews mit türkischen Migranten der zweiten Generation, die in zwei typischen Migrantenquartieren wohnen, und zum anderen auf Interviews mit Gatekeepern des Arbeits- und Wohnungsmarkts, mit Personen also, die aufgrund ihrer beruflichen Position über Zugang und Platzierung in den Betrieben bzw. Wohnhäusern entscheiden.

Dieser Sammelband ist Prof. Dr. Hans Otto Horch, der in den letzten Jahrzehnten die wissenschaftliche Aufarbeitung der deutsch-jüdischen Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte in großem Maße bereichert hat, anlässlich seines 65. Geburtstags gewidmet. Das weite Feld seiner Forschung spiegelt sich in den Beiträgen international renommierter Germanisten, Historiker und Kulturwissenschaftler wider, die sich mit jüdischer Identität vor dem Hintergrund der jüdisch-christlichen Beziehungen im deutschsprachigen Gebiet von der Frühen Neuzeit bis zur Gegenwart befassen.

This volume explores a range of current problems faced by cities in Germany and England and reflects on constructive strategies for enhancing the quality of life for the citizens of twenty-first century urban environments. The chapters of the book are based on papers given at a symposium organised by the Universities of Bristol and Hannover in 1997 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of twinning between the cities of Hannover and Bristol.

This book is based on the work of a European partnership, whose members came together from Belgium England Finland Germany Portugal and Greece with the support of funding from the EU Socrates Programme. Our goal was to work collaboratively to generate new ways of thinking about the situation of people aged between 14 and 25 who are at risk of (or experiencing) social exclusion, set in the context of a unique international analysis of policies, contexts and perspectives on the problems of social exclusion in Europe and the challenges of promoting lifelong learning among those who have rejected it early in life. We set out to examine programmes which help people to RE-ENTER pathways of education and training, but ended with approaches which are better characterised by their ability to RECONNECT people, not only to opportunities in the social structures but also to each other and to their communities We have developed new models and guidelines based on analysis of the best of European practice using the distinctive approaches of 'situated learning'. By an iterative and collaborative method of working, we have arrived at the concept and approaches of Learning Communities Centred on Practice (LCPs), which lie at the heart of this volume.

The member states of the EU have only very recently begun to consider race and racism in the framework of equality legislation and policies. As opposed to an established Anglo-Saxon tradition of naming races and using racial categorisation to fight racism, most continental European countries resist this approach. This book investigates the problematic reception and elaboration of race as a socio-legal category in Europe. Fighting Discrimination in Europe takes a fresh and interdisciplinary look at the normative, theoretical and concrete problems raised by the challenge of devising and enforcing policies to combat race discrimination in Europe. It engages with the juridical and political spheres, from the international level down to concrete cases of state and city policies. As the multifaceted relationship between race, discrimination and immigration is explored, new normative positions and practical approaches are developed, and new questions raised. This collection presents important new research for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Ethnic Studies, Migration Studies, Legal Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, and Policy Studies. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

In recent years, Europeans have engaged in sharp debates about migrants and minority groups as social problems. The discussions usually neglect who these people are, how they live their lives, and how they identify themselves. Multiple Identities describes how migrants and minorities of all age groups experience their lives and manage complex, often multiple, identities, which alter with time and changing circumstances. The contributors consider minorities who have received a lot of attention, such as Turkish Germans, and some who have received little, such as Kashubians and Tartars in Poland and Chinese in Switzerland. They also examine international adoption and cross-cultural relationships and discuss some models for multicultural success.
