Publication Metadata only Varying transnational and multicultural activities in the Turkish-German migration context(Springer Netherlands, 2012) Gerdes, Jürgen; Reisenauer, Eveline; N/A; Sert, Deniz; Teaching Faculty; N/A; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); 25879This chapter presents results from our empirical study based on qualitative interviews conducted with Turkish-German migrants and their significant others in both countries. After introducing the historical background on migration in Turkey and Germany, we describe, by means of a typology, the great variety of transnational contacts, activities, and orientations with respect to different migrant categories, migrants’ life courses, and different areas of action. An important result of this study is that stronger state border-crossing activities and orientations usually are embedded in even stronger intercultural and incorporation-related practices toward the migrants’ respective resident states.
