1945 to 1980 marks an extensive period of mass migration of
students, refugees, ex-soldiers, and workers from an
extraordinarily wide range of countries to West Germany. Turkish,
Kurdish, and Italian groups have been studied extensively, and
while this book uses these groups as points of comparison, it
focuses on ethnic communities of varying social structures-from
Spain, Iran, Ukraine, Greece, Croatia, and Algeria-and examines the
interaction between immigrant networks and West German state
institutions as well as the ways in which patterns of cooperation
and conflict differ. This study demonstrates how the social
consequences of mass immigration became intertwined with the
ideological battles of Cold War Germany and how the political life
and popular movements within these immigrant communities played a
crucial role in shaping West German society.
