As a young boy, growing up in Dublin, Hugo Hamilton struggles with the question of what it means to be speckled. The speckled people are, in his father's words, "the new Irish, partly from Ireland, partly from somewhere else". His father, a fierce nationalist, demands that his children speak Irish. His mother, a softspoken woman marked by her family's refusal to accept Nazi anti-Semitism, talks to her children in the language of her homeland, Germany. Hugo wants to speak English. English is, after all, what all the other children in Dublin speak. English is what they use when they hunt him down in the streets and call him "Eichmann", as they bring him to trial and sentence him to death at a mock seaside court. Surrounded by fear, guilt, and frequently comic cultural entanglements, Hugo tries to understand the differences between Irish history and German history and to turn the strange logic of what he is told into truth.

This book provides the first English-language history of thepostwar labor migration to West Germany. Drawing on governmentbulletins, statements by political leaders, parliamentaryarguments, industry newsletters, social welfare studies, presscoverage, and the cultural production of immigrant artists andintellectuals, Rita Chin offers an account of West German publicdebate about guest workers. She traces the historical andideological shifts around the meanings of the labor migration,moving from the concept of guest workers as a 'temporary laborsupplement' in the 1950s and 1960s to early ideas about'multiculturalism' by the end of the 1980s. She argues that theefforts to come to terms with the permanent residence of guestworkers, especially Muslim Turks, forced a major rethinking ofGerman identity, culture, and nation. What began as a policyinitiative to fuel the economic miracle ultimately became a muchbroader discussion about the parameters of a specifically Germanbrand of multiculturalism.
