Im Mittelpunkt des Buches stehen erzählte Lebensgeschichten von Berliner Unternehmern türkischer Herkunft. Der Autor setzt sich kritisch mit essenzialistischen Kulturkonzepten der immigrant business-Forschung auseinander und stellt die Frage, wie vermeintlich gegebene »kulturelle Grenzen« hergestellt werden und welche Rolle sie im Unternehmensalltag spielen. Hierzu wird das Konzept »Transkulturalität als Praxis« entwickelt. Diese Lesart der Biographien der Unternehmer zeigt nachdrücklich, wie Konstrukte »kultureller Grenzen« Handlungsrelevanz entfalten und wie sie in der Handlungspraxis - indem Akteure unbewusst oder strategisch auf sie rekurrieren - (re-)produziert, aber auch verändert werden. Damit ergänzt die Studie die aktuelle Diskussion über Inter- bzw. Transkulturalität um eine wichtige, innovative Perspektive. »Robert Pütz bringt den so wichtigen angloamerikanischen Diskurs zum Verhältnis von ethnischen Identitäten und wirtschaftlichem Handeln nach Deutschland. Dabei gelingt es ihm sehr überzeugend, den konstruierten Charakter jedweder Identitäten darzustellen. [...] In einer methodisch ausgesprochen gründlichen Empirie, die besonders in ihrem qualitativ-hermeneutischen Zugang überzeugt, präsentiert der Autor eine reichhaltige und dichte Analyse der institutionellen Strukturen und individueller Lebenswege türkischer Unternehmer. Gerade aufgrund seines eindringlichen, plastischen Charakters ist dieses Buch sicherlich auch für die Lehre zu empfehlen.« Ilse Helbrecht, Die Erde. Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin, 1 (2005) »Das Buch ist für die Geographie in jedem Fall bereichernd, da es für einen reflektierten Umgang mit ethnischen Kategorisierungen plädiert. Auch ist das Konzept der ›strategischen Transkulturalität‹, das auf den Zusammenhang von Kultur und ökonomischen Handeln verweist, eine Erklärungshilfe für die Herstellung und Entstehung erfolgreichen Unternehmertums.« Felicitas Hillmann, Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftsgeographie, 3-4 (2005)

Who owns the street? Interwar Berliners faced this question with great hope yet devastating consequences. In Germany, the First World War and 1918 Revolution transformed the city streets into the most important media for politics and commerce. There, partisans and entrepreneurs fought for the attention of crowds with posters, illuminated advertisements, parades, traffic jams, and violence. The Nazi Party relied on how people already experienced the city to stage aggressive political theater, including the April Boycott and Kristallnacht. Observers in Germany and abroad looked to Berlin's streets to predict the future. They saw dazzling window displays that radiated optimism. They also witnessed crime waves, antisemitic rioting, and failed policing that pointed toward societal collapse. Recognizing the power of urban space, officials pursued increasingly radical policies to 'revitalize' the city, culminating in Albert Speer's plan to eradicate the heart of Berlin and build Germania.

This lively and engaging book, set in the historical context of centuries of migration and multilingualism in Berlin, explores the relationship between language and migration. Berlin is a multicultural city in the heart of Europe, but what do we know about the number of languages spoken by its inhabitants and how they are used in everyday life? How do encounters with different languages impact on the experience of migration? And how do people use their experiences with language to shape their life stories? To investigate these questions, the author invites the reader to accompany him on a research expedition that leads to an apartment building in the highly diverse district of Neukölln. Its inhabitants come from different parts of the world and relate their experiences – their Berlin lives – in ways that reveal the complex and intricate relationships between language and migration.
