Forging diasporic citizenship : narratives from German-born Turkish Ausländer

Zusammenfassung: ""Forging Diasporic Citizenship" explores the dynamics of everyday life for German-born Berliners of Turkish origin. These Ausländer (or "outsiders") are obliged to define themselves by their otherness, but it is their relatedness to German society that transgresses traditional concepts of both German and Turkish identity. By examining the social encounters, life stories, and everyday practices of these Ausländer, this transnationally applicable work serves to disrupt delimited notions of citizenship. It shows how diasporic people are creating a broader basis for identity, community, and social responsibility that transcends the scope of membership in a nation-state."--(Provided by publisher.)
