Schland: Ulrike Hamann/Serhat Karakayali: Practicing #Willkommenskultur. Migration and Solidarity in Germany. In: Intersections. East European Journal of Society and Politics Vol 2, No 4 (2016).

“Abstract: During the ‘long summer of migration’ (Kasparek and Speer, 2015) a set of collective practices of solidarity with refugees in many European cities became (gradually) coined in public discourse as a ‘culture of welcome’. This article focuses on the volunteers in Germany who created structures out of the first spontaneous practices by building so-called welcome initiatives. Based on empirical research about these initiatives in Germany we share our first reflections about the attitudes toward migration policies, right-wing protests and the notion of integration held by these volunteers in order to illustrate what they think of the society of migration and its potential chances and conflicts.”
