This book explores the interrelation between diversity in migrants'
internal relations and their experience of inequality in local and
global contexts. Taking the case of Hamburg-based Iranians, it
traces evaluation processes in ties between professionals - artists
and entrepreneurs - since the 1930s, examining migrants' potential
to act upon hierarchical structures. Building on long-term
ethnographic fieldwork and archival work, the book centers on
differentiation, combining a diversity study with a focus on
locality, with a transnational migration study, analysing
strategies of capital creation and anthropological value theory.
The analysis of migrants' agency tackles questions of independence
and cooperation in kinship, associations, transnational
entrepreneurship and cultural events within the context of the
position of Germany and Iran in the global politico-economic
landscape. This material will be of interest to scholars and
students of anthropology, sociology, migration, urbanism and
Iranian studies, as well as Iranian-Germans and those interested in
the entanglement of global and local power relations.
