Abstract

“In the process of migration the migrant family develops specific orientations, which not only depend on the socio-cultural differences between country of origin and country of residence, but also on strategies and factual ways of coping with the experience of migration.” This is one of the main theses of a research project entitled “Orientation Patterns of Turkish and Italian Families in the Process of Migration”1. The thesis is based on the fact that foreign workers’ families have been living in Germany for up to 20 years now, so that migration has become a determinant factor in their everyday attitudes and decisions. Actually the “process of migration” has become a process of immigration without the families themselves being aware of it.
