Goodbye Germany? Migration, Culture, and the Nation State
Over the past half-century, mass migrations have challenged and changed
nation states on a global scale. Contemporary German controversies epitomize
many of the conflicts ascribed to immigration. As “guest workers” and
asylum seekers stay to become residents, the concept of a national community
based on ancestral lineage and cultural heritage has been called into
question. For some, the presence of roughly eight million foreign-born,
including new immigrants from Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia, spells
the end of Germany as they know it. In their view, Germany is not America
-- it will never be a “country of immigration.” For others,
a multi-ethnic Germany means cosmopolitan openness, multicultural diversity,
and a chance
to make good on the country’s dark history in the early half of
the last century. For them, Germany’s new face is already an undeniable
fact. More
