For many decades Germany has had a sizeable Turkish minority that lives in an uneasy co-existence with the Germans around them and as such has attracted considerable interest abroadwhere it tends to be seen as a measure of German tolerance. However, little is known about theactual situation of the Turks. This volume provides valuable information, presented in a mostoriginal manner in that it combines literary and cultural studies with social and political analysis.It focuses on the Turkish-born writer Emine Sevgi A-zdamar, who writes in German and whosework, especially her highly acclaimed novel Das ist eine Karawanserei, is examined criticallyand situated in the context of German "migrant literature".

Review
This well-conceptualized anthology is a promising start to an intriguing new series, Culture and Society in Germany...[Its] a ground-breaking and well-researched study, a lucid documentation of the impact of Turkish migration to Germany, bringing together materials form a range of disciplines, including history, sociology, religious studies, and literature...This volume provides a well-founded academic analysis of data, trends, and traditions, yet still leaves room for the personal experiences and perspectives of Turks establishing their own identity and political voice in German Society. It provides a great source for graduate German courses investigating migrant culture and literature in contemporary German Society. -- German Studies Review
