The book presents a study of - legal, illegal, and incarcerated -
African immigrants in Germany. Participants responded to a
selection of scales from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality
Inventory (MMPI-2), the Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ) by
Schwartz, and a measure of acculturative stress. Acculturative
stress and German racism emerged as strong predictors of poor
mental health, with problems becoming worse over the years of stay
in Germany. Particularly among 'economic refugees' a precarious job
situation and family fragmentation added grossly to acculturative
stress. As John W. Berry, the nestor of acculturation research puts
it in his epilogue: «What can only help is an increase in basic
hospitality: Making African immigrants welcome in their new home is
needed, not a bulwark Europe.
