London’s Polish Borders: Transnationalizing Class and Ethnicity Among Polish Migrants in London by Michal P. Garapich
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 1.8MB
Overview: The figure of the Polish plumber or builder has long been a well-established icon of the British national imagination, uncovering the UK’s collective unease with immigration from Central and Eastern Europe. But despite the powerful impact the UK’s second largest language group has had on their host country’s culture and politics, very little is known about its members.
This painstakingly researched book offers a broad perspective on Polish migrants in the UK, taking into account discursive actions, policies, family connections, transnational networks, and political engagement of the diaspora. Born out of a decade of ethnographic studies among various communities of Polish nationals living in London, Michal P. Garapich documents the changes affecting both Polish migrants and British society, offering insight into the inner tensions and struggles within what is often assumed to be a uniform and homogeneous category.
