| Summary: | "Jews, Turks, and Other Strangers studies the causes of prejudice against Jews, foreign workers, refugees, and immigrant Germans in contemporary Germany. Using survey material and quantitative analyses, Jerome Legge convincingly challenges the notion that German xenophobia is rooted in economic causes. Instead, he sees a more complex foundation for German prejudice, particularly in a reunified Germany where perceptions of the "other" sometimes vary widely between east and west, a product of a traditional racism rooted in the German state. Legge offers a clear and disturbing picture of a conflicted country and a prejudice that not only affects Jews but also fuels a larger, anti-foreign sentiment."--BOOK JACKET. |
