Migration und radikale Demokratie: Politische Selbstorganisierung von migrantischen Jugendlichen in Deutschland und den USA

How do migrant youth manage to become political subjects and defend their rights? How is it possible to oppose domination and to what extent does democracy provide a reference point? Helge Schwiertz explores these questions by developing a radical-democratic theory and combining it with a qualitative study on the self-organization of migrant youth in Germany and the USA. Through the dialogue between empiricism and theory, he thus contributes to a differentiated understanding of migrant struggles as well as debates on democratic theory and shows how borders can be democratized.
