Abstract

In West Germany, the sociology of migration is concerned increasingly with intercultural relations between migrant workers & majority society, involving discrimination, inequity, & racial prejudice. Three approaches for analysis of ethnic discrimination are discussed: (1) the SE approach is unable to explain the relevance of ethnic interpretation patterns; & (2) the functionalist approach sees striving for social upward mobility as an absolute action motive & is unable to differentiate between ethnic &, eg, sexist discrimination; & (3) the sociocultural approach presupposes a questionable notion of an increasingly multicultural society. Suggested is an enlargement of scope in the study of intercultural relations. The impact of phenomena such as institutional racism has not been sufficiently recognized by West German migration sociology. Modified AA
