Just Like Us? “Sameing” Ukrainian Refugee Migration
Since the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, critics have denounced the alleged preferential treatment of Ukrainians over non-European refugees as “just like us.” Against the backdrop of a long history of “ambiguous racialization” of Eastern Europeans, this article contends that the treatment of Ukrainian refugees as “equal” was not self-evident and required active “sameing”—a notion this article introduces …

Le regard des immigrants post-soviétiques en Allemagne sur la guerre russe en Ukraine
Les personnes d’origine postsoviétique en Allemagne – en majorité des rapatriés tardifs russes allemands et des réfugiés juifs – sont souvent directement touchées par la guerre russe en Ukraine. Au-delà de la question de savoir s’ils sont « pour » ou « contre » la guerre, cet article s’intéresse aux différentes attitudes et aux lignes de conflit qui en résultent au sein des communautés de migrants post-soviétiques. Il s’agit souvent de conflits e…
Les Spätaussiedler dans la société allemande: Les Contradictions Du Privilège
Depuis les années 1950, les Spätaussiedler, ressortissants de minorités allemandes en Europe de l’Est, migrent en Allemagne. L’étude de leur accueil dans la société allemande révèle la situation paradoxale de ces rapatriés dans les discours politiques, jugés a priori bien intégrés et dans le même temps soumis au racisme qui vise les Européens de l’Est. Le traitement des Spätaussiedler, renvoyés tantôt à leur image de minorité modèle ou d’étranger…
Both German and Russian: Second-Generation Russian-German Identities in Germany
This essay presents the results of a qualitative interview study with young people of Russian-German origin born in Germany, i. e., the descendants of resettlers (Spätaussiedler) from the successor states of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Using poststructuralist theories that understand the linguistic practices and discursive attribution of social categories as modes of constituting subjectivity and corresponding identities, this…

The power to expel vs. the rights of migrants: Expulsion and freedom of movement in the Federal Republic of Germany, 1960s—1970s
Migrants have rights vis-à-vis the liberal state. But these rights are not simply given. This article argues that they are the product of historical evolution and of norms-based societal contestation of state power. Migrant rights are located in different national and international bodies of law – constitutions, treaties, and conventions – which came into being mostly after the Second World War and together strengthened the protection of foreigne…
Tainted Law? Why History Cannot provide the Justification for Abandoning Ius Sanguinis
Costica Dumbrava rejects ius sanguinis as 1) historically tainted, 2) increasingly inadequate and 3) normatively unnecessary. In my response, I mainly focus on the first, historical dimension. Drawing on examples from the case of Germany, often used as the prime example to show what is wrong with ius sanguinis, I will contest the idea that ius sanguinis as such has been discredited by history. Its supposed taintedness has to do with issues not in…

What Is the German’s Fatherland: The GDR and the Resettlement of Ethnic Germans from Socialist Countries (1949–1989)
This article deals with the migration of “ethnic Germans” from socialist Eastern Europe to the GDR in the decades after the Second World War. Post-expulsion resettlement from that region is commonly associated with Aussiedler migration to West Germany. Contesting the idea that East Germany displayed no interest in Eastern European Germans, this article shows that the GDR, which challenged the West German claim to be the sole representative of the…
Germanizing Germans: Co-ethnic Immigration and Name Change in West Germany, 1953–93
This article identifies name registration and change as an important component of building a homogenous national society. It argues that the name changing policies of the West German state towards German co-ethnic immigrants ( Spätaussiedler) during the postwar decades reflected evolving official conceptions of nationhood and national identity. Specifically, the article problematizes the notion found in parts of the literature that the German ‘re…

The Oberkreisdirektor Decides Who Is a German”: Jewish Immigration, German Bureaucracy, and the Negotiation of National Belonging, 1953-1990
The article deals with the nexus between Jewish immigration to the Federal Republic of Germany and legal definitions of German ethnicity (Volkszugehörigkeit). It claims that the recognition of Jewish immigrants as Germans was continuously negotiated between different bureaucratic and societal actors struggling over the power to define who is a German. Examining the production of national belonging in practice, it breaks open the "black box" of th…
