Abstract
Menschen mit zwei Heimatländern: Die Geschichte der Emigranten in Deutschland seit 1945
Fast 22 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland stammen aus Einwandererfamilien: Hier leben Türken und Kurden, Ukrainer, Polen und Russen, Kroaten und Serben, Iraner, Palästinenser, Libanesen und Nordafrikaner. Die verschiedenen Diaspora-Gruppen sind stark mit ihrer jeweiligen Heimat verbunden und vertreten deshalb eigene Interessen. Welche Machtstrukturen haben sie im Exil aufgebaut? Was für politische Ziele innerhalb und außerhalb Deutschlands verfolgen sie? Alexander Clarksons brillante Analyse eröffnet einen differenzierten Blick auf die Einwanderungsgesellschaft: Was die Zuwanderer wirklich bewegt, was sie an kultureller Vielfalt, aber auch an Konflikten mitbringen, ist viel zu wenig bekannt – doch entscheidet nicht nur über ihre, sondern auch über die deutsche Zukunft.

People with Two Homelands: The History of Migrants in Germany since 1945
Almost 22 million people in Germany come from immigrant families: Turks and Kurds, Ukrainians, Poles and Russians, Croats and Serbs, Iranians, Palestinians, Lebanese and North Africans live there. These diaspora communities are strongly connected to their respective homelands and are willing to fight for their political interests. What power structures did they build in exile? What political goals do they pursue within and outside Germany? Alexander Clarkson's brilliant analysis opens up a differentiated view of the immigration society. It explores what really motivates many politicised immigrants as well as what they bring with them in terms of cultural diversity and social conflict. Much of this story is often little known by many observers of German politics. But it will decide not only the fate of these diaspora communities, but also the future of Germany.
