Abstract

The article discusses an ethnographic research conducted between summer 2007 and winter 2010/11 and included interviews with rejected black African asylum seekers about their illness experiences, living conditions, and interactions with health staff and administrators in eastern Germany. It looks at the racialization of asylum seekers and the bureaucratic challenges they faced at the Social Office to access health care. It also explores German asylum law and the policy context of health care.
