Description: The Guest Worker Question in Postwar Germany This book provides the first English-language history of the postwar labor migration to West Germany. Rita Chin (Author) 9780521870009, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 5 March 2007 294 pages 23.2 x 16.4 x 2.4 cm, 0.6 kg 'Rita Chin's book makes a significant contribution to the literature on the labor migration and postwar German history. It provides a fruitful model for interdisciplinary scholarship on the guest worker question and migration more generally.' Journal of International Migration and Integration This book provides the first English-language history of the postwar labor migration to West Germany. Drawing on government bulletins, statements by political leaders, parliamentary arguments, industry newsletters, social welfare studies, press coverage, and the cultural production of immigrant artists and intellectuals, Rita Chin offers an account of West German public debate about guest workers. She traces the historical and ideological shifts around the meanings of the labor migration, moving from the concept of guest workers as a 'temporary labor supplement' in the 1950s and 1960s to early ideas about 'multiculturalism' by the end of the 1980s. She argues that the efforts to come to terms with the permanent residence of guest workers, especially Muslim Turks, forced a major rethinking of German identity, culture, and nation. What began as a policy initiative to fuel the economic miracle ultimately became a much broader discussion about the parameters of a specifically German brand of multiculturalism. 1. Aras Oren and the 'guest worker' question 2. Minor(ity) literature and the discourse of integration 3. Gender and incommensurable cultural difference 4. Towards a German multiculturalism.
