Sicher in Kreuzberg: Constructing Diasporas: Turkish Hip-Hop Youth in Berlin

by Ayhan Kaya

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