The volume contains papers presented at the fourth Workshop «American Ethnicity: Rethinking Old Issues, Asking New Questions» which took place in Krakow, Poland, on May 24th-25th, 2010. The event was organized by the Institute of American Studies and Polish Diaspora of the Jagiellonian University, and supported by the (American) Immigration and Ethnic History Society. The tradition of organizing bi-annual workshops goes back to 2004 and continues to be a forum for discussing ongoing research and sharing ideas. The texts included in this volume provide a comparative context to immigration studies, contribute to the gender perspective, bring up new issues and remind the most important aspects of migrants’ life, such as remittances and poverty. There is also a set of the articles on American Jewish experience, studied from a variety of angles, and the Polish-American section presenting texts on local immigrant communities.

Movers and Stayers: Social Mobility, Migration and Skills
AvIzabela Grabowska

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
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 careers. Her research shows that migration adds dynamism to work paths and contributes to the improvement of people’s working lives. It also suggests that agency and reflexivity guide the acquisition of tacit skills during migration, resulting in various patterns of social mobility.

Childbearing and Parental Decisions of Intra EU Migrants
A Biographical Analysis of Polish Migrants to the UK and Italy

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The book explores intra-EU mobility of Polish families as seen by the migrants themselves. The author analyses in what way mobility has influenced their choices regarding if, when and where to have and raise their children. She evaluates how the family dynamics have affected their decisions regarding long-term settlement. The analysis is based on narrative biographic interviews with Polish migrants in Great Britain and Italy. A recurring experience of migrants in the UK was that work and welfare conditions improved their families’ quality of life, allowed them to fulfil desired fertility, and offered better prospects for the future. The opinions on welfare conditions in Italy were more critical, however it also offered long-term stability to the ones who had been struggling to survive in Poland.

All the contributions are extended and revised versions of the papers presented at the 7th Workshop American Ethnicity and Ethnic Community Building.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
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 contributors critically assess social capital of those living mobile lives, discuss the role of institutions, as well as engage with the broad problematics of caring – both with regard to migrant children raised in Norway, and the elderly kin members left behind in Poland. Further, the authors tackle the question of the possibilities and constrains of integration, pointing to several areas of policy implications of transnationalism for both Poland and Norway.

Contemporary Migrations in the Humanistic Coefficient Perspective
Florian Znaniecki’s Thought in Today’s Social Science Research
AvJacek Kubera,Łukasz Skoczylas
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
900 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book presents contributions from migration sociologists inspired by Florian Znaniecki’s theory and the results of his studies to conduct their own research in countries like Austria, China, Greece and Poland. 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: a sense of national identity (ethnic and civic), family ties, the importance of the social environment in the process of an individual’s integration with the society or an evolution of entire social systems within which the migrants operate.

Vietnamese in Poland
From Socialist Fraternity to the Global Capitalism Era
AvGrażyna Szymańska-Matusiewicz,Dorota Praszalowicz
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
785 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The world order that emerged after the Second World War resulted in the formation of rather unexpected connections between Poland and Vietnam, two middle-sized countries located on opposite sides of the globe. The mobility induced by "socialist fraternity" student exchange programs resulted in the emergence of the largest non-European migrant community in Poland already after the collapse of the Soviet Bloc. Basing on multi-sited anthropological fieldwork conducted in Poland, Vietnam, and the Internet, the author provides nuanced picture of Vietnamese migrant community, focusing on evolution of resources transferred by the migrants during particular periods of history. The main question posed in the book is the durability of Cold War era patterns of human mobility in the current era of "global capitalism".

Internal Migrations in Poland
AvŁukasz Skoczylas,Elżbieta Smolarkiewicz

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The aim of this book is to highlight the issue of internal migrations and emphasise the need to conduct research on their course and consequences, including those stemming from historical processes. The complexity of this topic is illustrated by the fact that the chapters contained in the book have been written by representatives of different disciplines: sociology, psychology, geography and economics, which may suggest the need for interdisciplinary research to be conducted in the future.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Research on Ukrainian war refugees residing in Poland demonstrates the challenges currently faced by most Western countries. It offers insights into the mechanisms of immigrants’ integration processes into a new socio-cultural environment. This publication presents the results of research on the living conditions of Ukrainian forced migrants residing outside their home country. The conducted research aims to show the nature of their adaptation and integration, and to identify the factors facilitating these processes. To this end, longitudinal research was conducted, involving two CAWI surveys. The first survey was carried out in the initial period following the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the second after two years of ongoing conflict. The book is a valuable source of knowledge on the migration of Ukrainians following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. It also shows what life abroad looks like from a two-year perspective and demonstrates the changes taking place within the studied population.
