Being the largest immigrant group in the country, and for a number of other reasons, the spotlight has been on people of Turkish descent. From a sociological perspective, the process of identity formation is a critical step in the direction of integration. If immigrants of Turkish descent are to be integrated in the society, it is crucial to inquire how they conceive of themselves, and perceive how they are conceived by the so-called locals. Heeding Goethe, Ali Mehdi goes out into broad and open land to conduct in-depth interviews with seven young men of Turkish descent, born in Germany, and to analyze – utilizing the empathetic approach of the German hermeneutic tradition – the rich diversity of identity strategies that the interviewees employ.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-03-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783531186801\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-531-18681-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 114\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672562188428,"sku":"9783531186801","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783531186801.jpg?v=1776524396","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783531186801","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
