In contrast to most other countries, both Germany and Israel have
descent-based concepts of nationhood and have granted members of
their nation (ethnic Germans and Jews) who wish to immigrate
automatic access to their respective citizenship privileges.
Therefore these two countries lend themselves well to comparative
analysis of the integration process of immigrant groups, who are
formally part of the collective "self" but increasingly transformed
into "others." The book examines the integration of these
'privileged' immigrants in relation to the experiences of other
minority groups (e.g. labor migrants, Palestinians). This volume
offers rich empirical and theoretical material involving historical
developments, demographic changes, sociological problems,
anthropological insights, and political implications. Focusing on
the three dimensions of citizenship: sovereignty and control, the
allocation of social and political rights, and questions of
national self-understanding, the essays bring to light the elements
that are distinctive for either society but also point to
similarities that owe as much to nation-specific characteristics as
to evolving patterns of global migration.
