Description 1 online resource (x, 274 pages) : illustrations Summary In 2015, Germany agreed to accept a million Syrian refugees. The country had become an epicenter of global migration and one of Europe's most diverse countries. But was this influx of migration new to Germany? In this volume, Jan Plamper charts the groups and waves of post-1945 mobility to Germany. This is a narrative history of multicultural Germany told through life-stories. It explores the experiences of the 12.5 million German expellees from Eastern Europe who arrived at the end of the Second World War; the 14 million 'guest workers' from Italy and Turkey who turned West Germany into an economic powerhouse; the GDR's Vietnamese labor migrants; and the 2.3 million Germans and 230,000 Jews who came from the Soviet Union after 1987 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 05, 2023) Subject Multiculturalism -- Germany -- History -- 20th century Multiculturalism -- Germany -- History -- 21st century Immigrants -- Germany -- History Emigration and immigration Immigrants Multiculturalism SUBJECT Germany -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 20th century Germany -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 21st century Subject Germany Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 9781009242264 1009242261
