The second part of the thesis examines the concept of German identity and how German's view themselves has impacted integration. The case of the Aussiedler, and how their treatment by the German government affected the Turkish community, will also be examined in this context. The final portion of the thesis discusses the controversial themes of the German Leitkultur and the theory of the Kulturkreis, which makes the claim that Turkish and German culture are too incompatible with each other to create an atmosphere conducive to successful integration.</p> 2011-03-22 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1300456390 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1300456390 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
