How do you live, how do you feel as a Kanake in Germany? For decades, the term "Kanake" was used to describe the social status of Turks living here. Now the children of immigrants have adopted the derogatory label for themselves and neutralised its connotations. "Kanake", a name that young Turks of the second and third generation use with proud defiance. Zaimoglu has adapted the wild and radically authentic confessions of young men of Turkish descent into literature. Their "Kanak Sprak", a mixture of native dialects and street German, blends with rigour and poetry into a shrill, anarchic canon from the margins of society.
"kanake there, kanake there, wherever you go... As if you had a lump of crab in the middle of your face and were entangled in such loops of air, whirled away by everyone and everything..."
