Books in the Migration - Ethnicity - Nation: Studies in Culture, Society and Politics series

Basing on multi-sited anthropological fieldwork, the author provides the picture of the Vietnamese in Poland - a community which emerged in result of socialist fraternity assistance programs and developed after the fall of the Soviet Bloc.

This book demonstrates diverse ways of looking at internal migrations and points to their fairly unexplored aspects. The book will not only be a source of knowledge on population movements in Poland but also an inspiration to the readers for their own studies and reflections.

Between the Old and the New World

This book presents contributions from migration sociologists inspired by Florian Znaniecki's theory. The authors evaluate today's migration phenomena with reference to a coherent theoretical system. The book can be used as a manual presenting the tools for examining the migration experience from many angles.

The author examines social mobility in the enlarged EU by analysing the work sequences of 1865 movers and stayers in Poland. Using indicators of upward and downward social mobility, she explores the role of migration in occupational careers and reveals agency and reflexivity as drivers of non-financial sense-making of migration.

The contributions in this book focus on U.S. migration policies, receiving society, ethnic communities and return migration. The authors analyze various aspects of migratory history ranging from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century.

This book provides timely insights into the lives of Polish migrants who have been settling in Norway with their partners and children, especially over the last decade. It brings together Polish and Norwegian scholars who shed light on the key areas of migrant family practices in the transnational space.

The book discusses how reproductive and parental decisions are made in the context of intra-EU mobility. The themes include childbearing, childcare, education and plans of the families of Polish post-accession migrants in the United Kingdom and Italy. It is a qualitative sociological study based on the analysis of narrative biographical interviews.
