Description
These authors Martin Arnold and Urs Fitze have told their stories: from the Tamil guest worker in a village in Appenzell, to Seconda, who became the city president, to a young Afghan who, after lost years as a minor refugee, completed his apprenticeship. It shows that the question of diaspora or new homeland is often a generational issue. Because integration takes time. In addition, the two authors shed light on the recent history of migration to Eastern Switzerland. The decades-long policy of limiting the number of foreigners repeatedly touched on human dignity. Nevertheless, far more people have stayed than planned. This is due to their persistence, an economy that recognizes its professional value, and not infrequently a private and social environment that compensates for the often harsh politics with hospitality, friendship, and love.
