Abstract
Germany demanded labor migration from different countries in order to meet the emerging labor shortage after the Second World War. In line with this demand also emigrated from Turkey to Germany to work a lot of people. In this context, the doors of a completely different world have been opened for them. Immigrants who faced with a different language and different culture, need to express themselves by writing down the difficulties they faced in society. They chose to express themselves by writing down all that they lived. As a matter of fact, the first foundations of Immigrant Literature were laid in this way. The purpose of this study is to base on Bekir Yıldız's work titled “Türkler Almanya’da”, by explaining the reasons for going abroad for the first generation immigrants who went to Germany as workers; to determine the sociocultural differences they encounter there, the various problems they experience and the factors that cause these problems. In line with these determinations first of all, the historical process of Immigrant Literature will be discussed in the study. After discussing the historical process, various names of Immigrant Literature will be emphasized and then information will be given about Bekir Yıldız, one of the first writers of Immigrant Literature. The work of the author, who also lived as a worker in Germany for four years between 1962 and 1966, was written with his careful observations and a critical point of view during his years in Germany. The book is also a reflection of the author's life. In the study, the work named “Türkler Almanya’da”, which contains autobiographical elements, will be analyzed with a positivist method.
