INTERVIEW WITH TAMAR JACOBY
Acceptance is more than tolerance
2010, Tamar Jacoby, president and CEO of Immigration Works USA, was invited to Berlin for a research scholarship of the American Academy Berlin. As a journalist and scientist she is known for her writing on immigration-related issues. She worked for the New York Review of Books, Newsweek and the New York Times. Being a member of the transatlantic exchange program she met German scientists, artists, journalists and politicians in order to stimulate knowledge-transfer. Unexpectedly she arrived in Germany when the discussion concerning immigration politics were at its peak. Thilo Sarrazin had just published his critical approach “Deutschland schafft sich ab”. The discussion in Faust-Kultur is not focused on emotional short cuts but tries to analyze the status quo of immigration politics in Germany.
