Reviews

The Spiegel Online -Journalistin Anna Reimann feels the book "We the new German" by Alice Bota , Khuê Pham and Özlem Topçu as "a portrait of her generation" and "at the same time an unsparing analysis of the German society." The authors “succeeded in portraying their generation - the young, educated, committed immigrant children - a generation that also makes demands on Germany”.

Gerrit Bartels sees “insights into three different families from non-German cultures” on DLF Kultur , “when each of the three authors speaks of herself. More difficult are the passages in which, the title suggests, they say 'we' and generalize their experiences. "In his view," the problem with this book is that it itself works with the inclusions and exclusions that it laments ", which is why he asks whether “many of the 'new Germans' actually don't want to be 'new Germans' at all - just journalists or doctors, workers or taxi drivers, sisters or family fathers”.

For Nadine Lange ( Tagesspiegel ), the authors “contribute to increasing intercultural skills with their book.” She would already see it as “a success if her bio-German readership asked the knee-jerk 'Where are you from?

For dpa, “We new Germans” is “not an emotional, self-pitying self-mourning. It is a sober report on what it feels like to grow up in Germany with a different background. "
