Migrants have organized transnational support for non-migrants, stay-at-homes, citizens and noncitizens, as well as for developmental or integrationist nation state projects for decades. These solidarities have been framed as "cultural programs," "autochthone support of hometowns," "development aid" or "diaspora politics." Since the turn of the century especially those projects that could be framed as "development aid" have gained a lot of interest from official development aid and its agencies. More and more programs have been launched to coordinate and professionalize the transnational support labor of migrants under the aegis of development. This is what I call the hype about migration&development. In this article, I want to show why the notion of "migrant development aid" used in the hype falls short of what is at stake when it comes to transnational migrant solidarities. Thereby, I want to argue that looking at migration through its governance and through migration or development politics is short-sighted and insensitive towards the desires, ethics and politics of migration. This is the reason that a perspective of migration—such as that propagated by the autonomy of migration approach—needs to be brought into debates on migration&development.

Migration und Entwicklung: diese beiden Prozesse wurden seit den 1960ern in wechselnde Zusammenhänge zueinander gebracht. Emigration wurde abwechselnd als positiver, negativer oder irrelevanter Faktor für die Entwicklung eines Landes angesehen. Die Entdeckung migrantischer Rücküberweisungen um die Jahrtausendwende löste jedoch ein nie dagewesenes Interesse aus: Eine unübersichtliche Zahl an Migration&Entwicklungs-Projekten und -Studien entstand. Sie alle haben zum Ziel, migrantische Potentiale für ihre Herkunftsländer nutzbar zu machen, migrantische Aktivitäten im Sinne der Entwicklung zu kanalisieren oder sie mit der institutionalisierten Entwicklungszusammenarbeit zusammenzubringen. Der vorliegende Band nimmt die Effekte dieses Hypes für verschiedene migrantische, entwicklungspolitische und städtische Akteure in den Blick. Er beschäftigt sich mit den diskursiven und subjektiven Verschiebungen und Aushandlungen, die mit ihm einhergehen.

Die Verfasserin untersucht deutsch-türkische Wohnungen und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass diese privaten Orte Ausdruck eines transnationalen Habitus sind, der an verschiedenen Objekten, die in den Wohnungen zu finden sind, und an dem Umgang mit diesen Objekten festgemacht werden kann. Dabei stößt sie auf Brüche zwischen der Sozialwohnung und der distinguierten Ausdrucksweise mancher Protagonisten sowie deren Tätigkeit als ungelernte Arbeiter. Diese Diskrepanzen sind ihrer Meinung nach nicht mit einem verengten Blick auf den nationalen Sozialraum zu erklären. Es handelt sich dabei sowohl um Kulturkonflikte als auch um die soziale Lage der Migranten in der Gastgesellschaft. (ICF2)
