Journal Title: Journal of Identity and Migration Studies - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
In recent years, more than a million asylum seekers have entered Germany, and it tries actively to integrate them into society. However, this massive process faces some difficulties especially in the east of the country. This article explores how the conflicts between young refugees and young Germans, mobilized, and turned to bad treatment, from some people in the city, against not only young refugees, but also against other refugees in the city, by studying kind of the communication between the host society and the refugees in two main areas: public places and the private sector. Comparing the results with the prior interviews conducted with fifteen unaccompanied minors and adult refugees in Hamm city, this article shows how the conflict that turned into bad treatment has negatively affected the feeling of security for the refugees, the homogeneity of the refugee community, and their views for their future in Germany regardless of the huge efforts of the government and the civil society to integrate the refugees in Bautzen city.
