Aprašymas

Integration and discrimination are two of the most salient yet contradictory forces shaping contemporary European politics. In Between Belonging and Exclusion Lara-Zuzan Golesorkhi asserts that this tension exists because integration politics do not facilitate non-discrimination, nor do they address experiences of discrimination. She draws on interviews with refugees and other key actors in integration politics to examine the barriers hindering refugee women's labor market participation in Germany.

Golesorkhi introduces four explanatory tropes that reveal how and why integration efforts have often fallen short. She examines the power relations and limitations in migration governance as well as the identity narratives of Germanness/Europeanness, and the gendered and racialized mechanisms of "othering" that contribute to discrimination.

Between Belonging and Exclusion delineates what Germany and the EU "get wrong" about integration and anti-discrimination as it outlines conceptual and practical suggestions for expanding the terms of inclusion.
