“…The second-generation of Turkish migrants are also generally an important population group for aging studies. In Germany's case, Turkish descendants constitute the largest immigrantorigin group (Barwick & Beaman, 2019). Even though debate is found whether older migrants often prefer support from their children to formal support (Ciobanu, Fokkema & Nedelcu, 2017; de Valk & Schans 2008), we cannot assume older migrants will be automatically supported by their adult children (Schans & Komter, 2010).…”

“…Portes, Guarnizo and Landolt (1999) characterize migrants' "dual life" as having homes in two countries, speaking two languages, and making a living through continuous regular contact across national borders. Currently, the Turkish immigrants and their children are the largest ethnic minority group in Germany (Barwick & Beaman, 2019), and the first-generation of migrants have already retired or approaching to their retirement age. Migrants are becoming a substantial part of Europe's older population (Ciobanu, Fokkema & Nedelcu (2017).…”

This special collection, as is the case of most academic work, began as an interpersonal conversation between scholars, in this case over many small glasses of tea in a Turkish kahvehane (tea house). The nature of the discussion involved the idea that Turkish sociology was relatively under-appreciated among Anglophone sociologists, and that in the current period of globalization, it would serve the interests of sociologists in Turkey to garner greater attention from international scholars, just as it would be beneficial for scholars worldwide to know more about Turkish sociological perspectives on the types of social problems currently faced within Turkey (or the Turkish diaspora). The editorial team, Dr. Şentürk and Dr. Muschert, are very pleased to present this work, and to have played a role in bringing it from conceptualization through to completion. However, it would be remiss to fail to acknowledge that the project is a collective endeavor among editors, contributors, reviewers, and others who have offered support. In the spirit of inclusiveness, we offer our sincere thanks to those whose names do not otherwise appear in this collection, including our skilled cadre of blind peer reviewers, our skilled editorial assistant Dr. Sadia Jamil, and those at the Center for Open Access in Science (COAS) in Belgrade, Serbia, who publishes this journal. We clarify that our selection of Open Journal for Sociological Studies was deliberate due to its Open Access model, which fit our intention to bring the scholarship included here to the widest audience possible. Finally, our decision to publish in English language was similarly strategic as the language has become one of the most broadly used in global academic discourse.

The Social Networks and Engagements of Older Turkish Migrants in Germany

During the 1960s, Germany received high numbers of Turkish labor migrants, and this first generation has currently reached to old age. This qualitative research aims to discuss the social networks and engagements of these older Turkish migrants who have aged in Germany. Academia has shown growing interest in the importance of social capital of older people in the form of their social networks, social support, and social participation. This study focuses on their daily social interactions in Germany. The findings reveal that participation in associations, social clubs, and neighborhood social groups enables them to re-establish new social roles in postretirement period and after their child-bearing years. Their small groups, which meet regularly, are valuable emotional support resources. Their relatively low human capital is argued to influence the homogeneity of their social networks, but not the variety of social engagements.

“…Comparative Integration Context Theory (Crul & Mollenkopf, 2012;Crul & Thomson, 2007) shows that varying political and cultural reactions to Muslims in Europe shape youths' identities. In the case of France, color-blind ideology (Beaman, 2017;Chacal, 2015;Keaton, 2010), rampant Islamophobia (Abdellali & Mohammed, 2016) and the instrumentalization of the Muslim middle class by political parties (Wihtol de Wenden & Leveau, 2001) in some banlieues gives rise to a "distinct community" and "distinct identity" concerning ethnic origins (Barwick & Beaman, 2019;Chacal, 2015;Roy, 2009). The most recent French survey on second generation integration (Simon et al, 2018) and other case studies (Pégram, 2020) demonstrated that an important part of the second generation living in the suburbs do not identify themselves strongly with the majority culture or feel French only, although their connections to the heritage group remain strong.…”

Self-Identification in a Spanish barrio and a French banlieue: The Case of North African Second Generations

This comparative and qualitative research examines the types of ethnic, racial, religious, and social identification that North-African second generations adopted in a banlieue of Paris and a peripheral barrio of Madrid. Four types of self-identification were detected in the neighborhood of Les Bosquets (Paris) and three in the neighborhood of San Cristobal (Madrid). In Les Bosquets, isolation, Islamophobia and the relationships with the police give rise to a "reactive ethnicity"; a new conservative Islam gains many followers ("Muslim self-identification"); race appears for the first time as an element of self-identification ("indigenous self-identification”) and secularism has waned (“laïc self-identification”). In San Cristóbal, a significant share still feels like immigrants (“immigrant identification”); a new Spanish-Muslim generation (“hybrid self-identification”) is born, and the most vulnerable youth adopt a conservative Islam while simultaneously developing a sense of “neighborhood pride” and identification with the working class (“neighborhood identification”).
