Introduction: Turkish Migration to Germany-Forty Years After

  • Ayşe Çağlar (a1) and Levent Soysal (a2)
Extract

2001 was the 40th Anniversary of Turkish Migration to Germany, marking four decades after the first Turkish workers began joining the ranks of Italian, Spaniard, and other migrant laborers coming north in search of employment from countries around the Mediterranean. The anniversary was celebrated with meetings, panel discussions, concerts, radio shows, and almost endless articles and editorials in newspapers. The highlight of the year, one might say, was “Turkish Day,” bringing Turkish immigrants from all over Germany to Berlin for a parade.
