This work examines the construction and articulation of (diasporic) cultural identity among the Turkish working-class youth in Kreuzberg (Little Istanbul). It suggests that the contemporary diasporic consciousness is built on two antithetical axes: particularism and universalism.

The book questions the popularity of the notion of tolerance in Turkey, and argues that the regime of tolerance has been strengthened in parallel with the Europeanization process, which has boosted the rhetoric of the Alliance of Civilizations in a way that culturalized what is social and political.

This work explores contemporary debates on migration and integration, focussing on Euro-Muslims. It critically engages with republicanist and multiculaturalist policies of integration and claims that integration means more than cultural and linguistic assimilation of migrant communities.
