Disappointing experiences of the migrants, along with other aspects of life in Germany, have been transmitted through transnational networks to ethnic Germans still living in Kazakhstan. Consequently, Germans in Kazakhstan today feel more alienated than ever from their 'historic homeland.' This book explores the interplay of those memories, social networks and state policies, which play a role in the 'construction' of a Kazakhstani German identity--From publisher's website.Integration and conflict studies.GermansKazakhstanEthnic identityGermansKazakhstanSocial conditionsCollective memoryKazakhstanTransnationalismSocial aspectsKazakhstanSocial networksKazakhstanSocial networksGermanyKazakhstanEthnic relationsKazakhstanEmigration and immigrationKazakhstanRelationsGermanyGermanyRelationsKazakhstanGermansEthnic identity.GermansSocial conditions.Collective memoryTransnationalismSocial aspectsSocial networksSocial networks305.8310584Sanders Rita1636444MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820510703321Staying at home3977728UNINA
