Description
The integration of immigrants into a larger society begins at the local level. "Turkish Berlin "reveals how integration has been experienced by second-generation Turkish immigrant women in two neighborhoods in Berlin, Germany. While the neighborhoods are similar demographically, the lived experience of the residents is surprisingly different
Author Biography
Annika Marlen Hinze is assistant professor of political science at Fordham University.
ReviewsTurkish Berlin goes beyond the broad generalizations in immigrant integration debates by digging into what officials actually mean as they operationalize the term 'integration' and how the subjects of the resulting policy, Turkish-origin women in Berlin, understand the treatment they receive. Full of rich ethnographic material, this is a fine book that readers will ponder for a long time.-John Mollenkopf, author of Inheriting the City: The Children of Immigrants Come of Age "An interesting read and a good resource for urban studies and immigration studies."-Political Studies Review "A unique contribution to scholarship on Berlin city space."-Seminar: A Journal of Germanic Studies "A timely examination of the myriad issues shaping both immigrant experience and integration policy in Germany."-Oral History Review
