The volume brings together contributions that were created as part of a qualitatively comparative research project in German and U.S. schools. Building on the school culture approach, it examines the social construction and management of migration-related relations of difference at various levels of society. The contributions provide nuanced insights into how ethnically coded relations of difference and inequality are processed in schools across different migration society contexts and school cultural orders.
