ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with some phenomena concerning the presentation of social exclusion from agents’ perspective that appear strange and/or unsatisfactory at specific sight because the qualitative empirical data do not fulfil the sociologist’s expectations and demands. The housing situation for Turkish migrants is very different from that of all the other ethnic groups of immigrants, the significant disparity resulting from a rather complex and intricate interplay between economic, legal, and cultural factors. According to the ‘doxa’ perception of the social world the ‘usual’ and more ubiquitous sorts of inequality, tacit and trivial arrangements of discrimination and exclusion appear as self-evident, legitimate, ordinary, or even as a largely natural state of affairs. The aspect of ‘normalization’ and non-articulation was suggested by Anita Ronneling, referring mainly to the fact that within a welfare state framework certain kinds of difficulty may be no longer experienced as such, since access to remedies and institutional support is taken for granted and can be managed easily.
