Sommario/riassunto

Marriage is a central trope in popular portrayals of Germany's largest ethnic minority. In exploring Turkish-German matrimony in popular genres including autoethnography, chick lit, wedding film and ethno-sitcom, this book reveals the fascinating interactions of gender, sexuality and ethnicity in contemporary Germany.
