Ein sehr gut recherchierter Beitrag im New York Times Magazine über den türkischen Heiratsmarkt in Deutschland. Durch arrangierte Ehen und Importbräute wird jede Generation immer wieder zur ersten Generation, was die Intergration angeht. Caldwell beschreibt, warum die Türken auf arrangierte Ehen setzen, wie sie die deutschen Familien sehen, und was die integrationspolitischen Kosten dieses Heiratsmarktes sind.
Zitiert wird in dem Stück unter anderem der Gastgeber dieses Blogs:
Like Ayaan Hirsi Ali in the Netherlands, Kelek has been accused of “Enlightenment fundamentalism,” a tendency to defend secular values too dogmatically. Last year, a group of 60 “migration researchers” wrote an open letter to the weekly paper Die Zeit attacking Kelek’s writing as “unserious” — an odd criticism to level at a memoirist, even one trained in sociology. Others say she has made Islam too central to her explanation of violence against women.
Christopher CaldwellMarriage among Turks has become a cause célèbre partly because of Turks’ resistance to German ways. But Turks’ acceptance of German ways, particularly by this first generation of Turkish-German feminist writers and intellectuals, plays a role too. “I think a lot of Germans are positively embarrassed by how patriotic these women are,” writes Jorg Lau, an admirer of both Kelek and Ates who often writes about Muslim issues for Die Zeit. For the first time, negative verdicts on the Turkish model of relations between the sexes are coming out of the Turkish community itself.
