Paper Abstract:
Examines the plight of repressed Turkic "guest workers" in contemporary Germany. Focuses on alleged atmosphere of hate & violence rampant in Germany today.

Paper Introduction:
Statement of Purpose The following paper will examine some of the ethnocultural determinants surrounding the treatment of Turks in present-day Germany. Determinants of ethnocultural identity such as race, religion, class, and power, as well as causal factors of inter-ethnic conflict such as state repression, economic inequality/class conflict,migration/expulsion, and fear of persecution/extermination will all be examined. It will be shown that the formation of a collective consciousness, specifically one aimed at uniting all of the European Community, would better determine the identities of future generations.
