Young Turks in Germany: Education for What?

Synopsis: Relates the history of the Turkish community in Germany - why Turks originally went to work there, what life was like in the early days of settlement, and how the situation has changed since the Berlin Wall fell. Interviews contribute to our understanding of the educational situation (Helga Boherer), policy issues (Barbara John), life in the family, and the agressive racism experienced by one particular family (Mustapha Sahin), which had tragic consequences. Looks at how the Turkish community themselves are helping each other through the Bureau for Turkish Families. Interviews Cemalettin Cetin.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
