Post-Unification Turkish German Cinema

Abstract

This book examines what came to be known as Turkish German Cinema from the period following the German Unification in 1990, with a focus on ethics , affectivity and labour . Today, Turkish German Cinema broadly refers to a diverse set of films that deal with the transformations that the labour migration from Turkey to Germany brought about in the last 50 years.
