German description: Der Anteil Jugendlicher an der Gesamtbevolkerung ist in der Turkei dreimal so hoch wie in Deutschland. Ein Viertel der Jugendlichen in Deutschland hat einen sogenannten Migrationshintergrund. Welche Geschichten verbergen sich hinter diesen Zahlen? Wie werden Jugendliche und ihre Anliegen in Medien und Politik reprasentiert? Die Beitrage in diesem Band beschaftigen sich auf unterschiedliche Weise mit dem Thema Jugend im turkisch-deutschen Kontext. Dabei geraten die jungsten Proteste in der Turkei ebenso ins Blickfeld wie Selbst- und Fremdreprasentationen Jugendlicher im Sprachgebrauch, in Filmen, Dokumentationen und Jugendbuchern sowie ihre Position in der Integrationspolitik.
