In the early 1960s, Germany demanded employees from various countries including Turkey in order to meet the deficiency in the employment. As such, labor migration from Turkey to Germany commenced in accordance with mutual agreements. These migrant workers, most of whom were in dire conditions, encountered plenty of problems. Turkish identity, which has become an important part of Germany with the total population of Turkish workers as well as their families, was not limited to the field of labor. Some of them penned the difficulties that they experienced, thus leading to the emergence of a new branch of literature which would later be named as “immigrant literature”. The workers of immigrant literature presented realistic insights as to the encounter of Turks with the reality of Germany, their lives in Germany together with their dilemmas, their efforts to hold onto the place and the time period, their aspirations, alienation, loneliness and exclusion in both individual and social contexts. Thus, immigration to Germany creates its own unique literature in the characteristic of a documentary. One author to have examined migrant workers and the problems they faced is Yüksel Pazarkaya who is among the pioneers of the first period immigrant literature and who defined migration as “not turning to the language of wild” and “strangeness”. This study aimed to identify the traces of migration in Pazarkaya’s stories. The reflection of migration into the literature and the references to the definition of migration through his story book named “Residence Permit” will be examined in this study.
