“…(re)gain a positive social identity in comparison with the out-group discriminated against (Branscombe et al 1993;Tajfel and Turner 1986). To this extent it is brought about by failed efforts to reach social, cultural or economic resources sufficient to realise a positive social identity (Groenemeyer 2003). For group members affected, therefore, (re-)ethnicisation represents a resource in the competition for a positive social identity.…”

“…From the youths' point of view, this is a cultural, social and economic debacle focused on the failure to gain access to society and on the ethnically motivated exclusion of the offspring of former immigrants (Asbrock et al 2006;Dubet and Lapeyronnie 1994;Groenemeyer 2003;Heitmeyer et al 1997;Skrobanek 2007). Multiple discrimination, especially in the labour market, results in young people from ethnic minorities becoming dependant on their own ethnic group of origin (with all the social-cultural and economic consequences thereof) and being able to relate only to that group (Berry et al 2006a,b;Branscombe et al 1993;Branscombe et al 1999;Jetten et al 2001).…”

Previous discussion of the opportunities for young people with an ethnic minority background to integrate into society has focused on advantages or disadvantages caused by human capital or by ethnically motivated, individual, group or institutional discrimination within society. However, in recent years there has been a growing interest in subjectively or collectively perceived discrimination and its effects on ethnic identity and (re-)ethnicisation. This paper reports on the processes involved in the (re-)ethnicisation of young people with a Turkish ethnic background which results from perceived personal and group discrimination. A discrimination/(re-)ethnicisation pathmodel is proposed where perceived discrimination influences the perceived nonpermeability of group boundaries and ethnic identity. This results in a direct and positive effect on (re-)ethnicisation. Analyses of empirical investigations partly support the model, in accordance with which perceived personal and group discrimination produce direct effects on the perceived non-permeability of group boundaries and indirect effects on ethnic identity and (re-)ethnicisation. Against the model proposed here, perceived personal and group discrimination have a direct impact on (re-)ethnicisation.

“…Any deviation from the so-called 'majority or guiding culture' is suspected of endangering the reproduction of that which is assumed to be a seemingly unchangeable backdrop of a supposed 'common sense'. 1 Whatever the reasons, one thing is rarely addressed: that what seems like the migrants' 'adherence' to their (origin-)specific culture is not reluctance to integrate or their lagging behind the demands of modern western societies, but an expression of dealing with experiences of social exclusion from this society -although there is by now plenty of empirical evidence of this correlation, not least the civil unrest in Great Britain in early 2000 and in France in 2005 (Berry et al, 2006a(Berry et al, , 2006bDubet and Lapeyronnie, 1994;Groenemeyer, 2003;Heitmeyer et al, 1997;Jasinskaja-Lahti et al, 2006;Kalin and Berry, 1996;Solga, 2005;Wieviorka, 1992).…”

Based upon Bourdieu's 'theory of capital' and Willis's 'theory of cultural production', the article scrutinizes the interrelation between perceived discrimination, self-exclusion and cultural differentiation. The empirical analysis is based on a longitudinal study by the German Youth Institute, which was set up to explore the transition of young Turks from school to vocational training and employment. The data point out that young immigrants who are dealing with experiences of devaluation of their (origin-)specific cultural capital and who are disadvantaged regarding the accessibility of dominant cultural capital bring about a production of a counterculture. They are less likely to exclude themselves in the sense of internalizing the rightness of the dominant culture.

The connection had also become obvious in the course of the enormous political shifts and system changes after 1989 (Linder 1998;Groenemeyer 2003). In parallel, a discourse diagnosed as growing and violent xenophobia (Imhof 1993; see also Hoffmann-Nowotny and Hondrich 1982) toward immigrants and minorities perceived as belonging to other ethnicities or ethnic groups gained more attention in Western Europe while strong migratory movements were in progress (Esser 1980;cf.…”

“…(…) Instead, they should be interpreted as the products of history, therefore as resulting from concrete acts." Based on this shift in perspective, ethnicities or ethnic groups cannot be characterized by a stable, identifiable, and delimitable culture (Groenemeyer 2003). Instead, they result from an interplay of social practices, cultural knowledge contexts, and power relations (Dahinden 2016;Chimienti et al 2021; on the reflexive turn in ethnicity-related research Reuter 2002 or Nieswand andDrotbohm 2014).…”

and the Nation-StateThe discipline of sociology has a long international tradition of both theoretical and empirical research on processes of ethnic differentiation and the manifold consequences that accompany them (see, for example, Weber 1980Weber [1921Du Bois 1995[1899; Barth 1969). However, it was not until the 1960s that the notion of ethnicity began to spread more widely in the sociological context and established itself as a fundamental concept. As late as the mid-1970s, Nathan Glazer and Daniel P. Moynihan (1975, 1), in their classic reader, promoted "ethnicity" as "a new term" helping to understand what was meant by "black politics" or "to find a satisfactory place for the French-speaking element in an undivided Canada" (Glazer and Moynihan 1975, 2). The relevance of this new sociological category was high and equivalent to the classical category of social class. In the Anglo-Saxon world, the political demands for a "representative bureaucracy" (Kingsley 1944), which exposed the problems of the relationship between public administration and "ethnic groups or minorities", were also responsible for this increase in significance. One example was the context of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. 1 In German-language sociology, the concept of ethnicity has been gaining in importance since the 1980s, thus returning to a certain extent from the American debate, decades after Max Weber (1980 [1921], 237) had sharpened the concept to his famous sociological definition of an ethnic commonality belief [«ethnischen Gemeinsamkeitsglauben»]. As the ethnic community is increasingly discussed in social sciences towards the end of the 20 th century (Imhof 1997), the nexus of ethnicity and the state in its national (or 1In the meantime, many empirical studies have emerged that attribute an essential role to the representation of ethnocultural diversity in the provision of administrative services or the filling of public positions (see, among
