From the 1950s to 1970s large numbers of workers migrated not only from the south of Italy to the industrial areas in the north of the country but also to West Germany. Whereas the former movement was an internal migration within a nation state, the latter can be defined as transnational migration. Both migration movements had similar characteristics, however there was one major difference regarding the legal status of the labour migrants: while they were citizens in Northern Italy, they were non-citizens in Germany. This article discusses what relevance the formal qualification of citizenship, with the codification of civil, political and social rights, had for the labour migrants in everyday life. On the one hand the changing supranational regulations that extended the range of citizenship status are scrutinized, on the other the background of the Italian labour migrants in marginal areas of the country that limited their possibilities of exerting citizenship is taken into consideration. By assessing what impact the dissimilar legal status had on the labour migrants’ opportunities within both receiving societies the article contributes to the recently opened research agenda of a combined study of internal and transnational migrations.

This article looks at the migration policy of the trade unions as well as the political activism of migrants in West Germany during the 1960s and 1970s. It argues that migrants’ political activities have been rather neglected in historiography, because the research has followed the governmental view on migration which has led to an unnecessarily rigid analysis of migrants’ individual motivations to emigrate and ignored their demands. Through several instances of migrant protest and self-organization, the article emphasizes the importance of migrants’ political activism for the social history of the Federal Republic. Ultimately the idea of integration in historiography is discarded as a discourse that covers the migrants’ precise demands for equal rights.

Between 1945 and 1961 West Germany experienced one of the greatest waves of emigration in German history. However, before the emigration of Germans to European and overseas countries had even reached its zenith, German migration policy had laid the foundations for the immigration of foreign workers, and the era of organized recruitment had begun, which lasted until 1973. This article analyses how the migration agreements with Italy (1955), Spain (1960), Greece (1960) and Turkey (1961) came about. Based on official documents it will argue (a) that the Mediterranean countries had initiated the negotiations about these agreements in order to regulate at least parts of their outward migration according to the needs of their own labour markets, and (b) that German politicians and ministerial civil servants involved held no fundamental debate during their period of deliberation about the possible length of the employment of foreign workers, and avoided a public discussion about migration and migration policies.

Research on migration to Germany tends to concentrate on the so-called ‘guest worker’ system and neglects migrants who opened up businesses of their own, above all in food retail and the restaurant sector. After a brief sketch of the history and structure of the migrant restaurant trade in West Germany, this article focuses on those ‘guest workers’ who were specifically recruited for employment in the West German hotel and restaurant business, but who later established ethnic restaurants and thus contributed crucially to the internationalization of food consumption in postwar Germany. In contrast to the US or UK, where the starting conditions for foreign and native entrepreneurs do not differ in legal respects, the state Aliens Department in (West) Germany exerted – and still exerts – an enormous influence on the self-employment of foreigners. Migrant restaurateurs in the FRG could not expect equal treatment. Their applications were subjected to an ‘examination of need’ (Bedürfnisprüfung), that is the authorities had to acknowledge a particular local need or a significant economic interest for a foreigner’s restaurant or snack bar before permission to open a business was granted.

This article is a history of the refugee and asylum policies in the two postwar German states from the end of the 1940s to the mid-1970s and describes the developments leading to the 1993 constitutional amendment. In West Germany, the right to political asylum was permanently the subject of conflicts and new interpretations based on contradictions between a liberal constitutional law of political asylum and a restrictive institutional practice of migration policy. The resulting developments in asylum policy were part of the democratization of the political culture in the West German society, in which the constitution was recognized as standing above other regulations and political considerations. In contrast, in the GDR asylum remained an arbitrary act under total control of the Communist Party officials and can be seen as a continuation of German nationalistic migration policy under the notion of a homogenous population. The refugee issue was always tied to fundamental questions about the political and moral foundations of the West German society and became the major subject of public debate in the 1980s. These debates culminated in the 1993 constitutional reform popularly known as the ‘asylum compromise’, a combination of democratic values and the traditional notion of national belonging in reunified Germany.

Abstract
Evliya’s description of his journey in 17th century Ottoman Palestine is a good example of the importance of travelogue, especially as it gives another viewpoint, that of a Muslim scholar. Through his eyes, it is possible to see the country, hear local traditions and get a better understanding of realities in that...
