Life

Ha came to West Berlin in 1979 as a “ boat people ” refugee and studied at the Otto Suhr Institute of the Free University of Berlin.

In 1999 he became known as a specialist author in cultural studies with the book Ethnicity and Migration ; the book was reissued in 2004 in a revised and expanded edition under the title "Migration and Enthnlichkeit Reloaded. Cultural Identity , Difference and Hybridity in Postcolonial Discourse ". This was followed by research and book publications on the topics of post-colonial criticism , migration and racism and especially on the influences of immigration on identity politics in German and European society.

His dissertation In the Mix. Postcolonial forays into the cultural history of hybridity at the University of Bremen was awarded the Augsburg Science Prize for Intercultural Studies in 2011 . Thomas Schwarz accused deficiencies in a review. Ha defends himself against this, in his opinion, false evaluation of his work and now publicly contradicts the reviewer and the IASLonline.
