Description:
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
