Abstract

"The re-unification of Germany has dramatically altered the position of settled minorities in [the former West Germany]. Ethnic Germans have been granted rights hitherto denied to migrant workers and their descendants. There has been a pronounced growth in hostility and violence directed mainly at Turks and Yugoslavs. This has been most evident amongst the former citizens of the [former East Germany] and other ethnic Germans. These events have posed anew questions of legitimacy which have been answered so far in terms reminiscent of ideologies from the Second World War."<br /> (excerpt)
