Migratory Configurations: A Reflection for Three German Scenarios

Abstract

The article presents an ethnographic reflection on the configurations of the migrant experience in seven cities of three German states. We will start by situating, in the second section, the migratory context in Germany, through a synthesis of official statistical data. In the third, we present our observations on the migration context in the cities of the state of Thuringia. In the fourth, in the cities of Hesse and, in the fifth, in those of North Rhine-Westphalia. We close with reflections on the migrant configurations in these three territories of Germany.
