»Cornelia and Holger Lund provide a critical reading of the history of Turkish pop music’s reception in Germany, […] the authors point out how their subject is a blind spot in (ethno)musicological research.«
»[The authors] criticize numerous instances of racism that fueled social and cultural divisions […]. Against this backdrop, the authors not only trace the commercial success of Turkish pop music in and from Germany, which has been largely ignored by the ›German dominant society‹, but also place this music in the context of past and current political debates.«
