Jennifer A. Miller\u0026amp;#x2019;s unique approach starts in the country of departure rather than the country of arrival and is heavily informed by Turkish-language sources and perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMiller argues that the guest worker program, far from creating a parallel society, involved constant interaction between foreign nationals and Germans. These categories were as fluid as the Cold War borders they crossed. Miller\u0026amp;#x2019;s extensive use of archival research in Germany, Turkey and the Netherlands examines the recruitment　of workers, their travel, initial housing and work engagements, social lives, and involvement in labour and religious movements. She reveals how contrary to popular misconceptions, the West German government attempted to maintain a humane, foreign labour system and the workers themselves made crucial, often defiant, decisions. \u003ci\u003eTurkish Guest Workers in Germany\u003c\/i\u003e identifies the Turkish guest worker program as a postwar phenomenon that has much to tell us about the development of Muslim minorities in Europe and Turkey\u0026amp;#x2019;s ever-evolving relationship with the European Union.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations and Tables\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart One\u003cbr\u003e1.
