| description | <p class="MsoNormal"><p class="MsoNormal">This small-scale, qualitative study examines how five young male second-generation Turkish immigrants perceive racial discrimination by ethnic Germans and&nbsp;to what extent this perception influences their collective identities. The typology of interactional patterns the interviewees describe as racial discrimination has&nbsp;four elements: a perception of distrust, a distancing gaze, denial of belonging and rule enforcement by members of the German majority. The interviewees, particularly&nbsp;those who are highly educated and socially mobile, identify with a common Ausl&auml;nder (foreigner) identity in response to experiences of discrimination.&nbsp;This identity is regarded a shared identity marker by immigrants of different backgrounds. It appears as a positive and affirmative identity of difference, which&nbsp;creates a unique type of social capital.</p></p> |
