    "Fleeing from hunger, two young brothers are sent from rural Sweden to seek their fortune in New York in the early 1850s. But in the middle of their long journey they are separated and the younger boy, Hakan, finds himself alone on a ship bound for California. Hakan speaks no English and has no money but, determined to find his brother Linus, he decides to cross America in search of him. The boy, almost immediately, becomes a man: the man, who never stops growing, becomes a giant; the giant, despite himself, becomes an outlaw and a legend, known simply as 'the Hawk'. Travelling on foot through empty and unclaimed expanses, Hakan is driven back west over and over again. Moving against the tide of history, he experiences the Gold Rush and its effects, encounters capitalists and colonialists, explorers and early sicentists, and witnesses the formation of America and the betrayal of its dream"--Back cover

    Why are male youth with a migration background underrepresented in higher education in Germany? The answer is not simple and there are certain limitations when developing possible solutions for this problem. This book tries to provide an answer to this question by interviewing male migrant youth and focusing on the already practiced strategies, beliefs and tendencies of those youth who have been successful. The premise is that actual proof is more useful than theoretical proof, is easier to apply and might provide inspiration for other youth. In a way this book is a comparison of qualitative and quantitative research. <engl.>
