Migration, xenophobia: a century-old theme. Enzensberger's "Markierungen," which do not lack clarity, will be welcomed by all who are tired of viewing the problem from the frog's perspective of German domestic politics. It addresses a question that is too important to be left to politicians and demagogues. Xenophobia and migration have always existed. However, the experiences associated with them are often conveniently denied or forgotten. Enzensberger's sentences "do not fit into the murmur of German victimhood culture... The matadors of the 'asylum debate' are recommended to read Enzensberger's book. It cleans the glasses. And it serves as aesthetic medicine against the identity and sentimentality kitsch that dominates the German debate.".
