Publisher description
How has the internationalmobility of Polish citizens intertwined with other influences to shape society, culture, politics and economics in contemporary Poland?The Impact of Migrationon Poland offersa new approach for understanding how migration affects sending countries, andprovides a wide-ranging analysis of how Poland has changed, and continues tochange, since EU accession in 2004. The authors explore an array of socialtrends and their causes before using in-depth interview data to illustrate howmigration contributes to those causes. They address fundamental questions aboutwhether and how Polish society is becoming more equal and more cosmopolitan, arguing that for particular segments of society migration does make adifference, and can be seen as both leveller and eye-opener. While the bookfocuses mainly on stayers in Poland, and their multiple contacts with Poles inother countries, Chapter 9 analyses 'Polish society abroad', a more accurateconcept than 'community' in countries like the UK, and Chapter 10 considersimpacts of immigration to Poland. Thebook is written in a lively and accessible style, and will be important readingfor anyone interested in the influence of migration on society, as well asstudents and scholars researching EU mobility, migration theory andmethodology, and issues facing contemporary Europe.Praise for The Impact of Migration on Poland'Overall... I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, which has made clear contributions to migration theory and literature, and would recommend it to anyone interested in international migration and Central and Eastern Europe.'International Migration Review
