The article describes issues relating to determinants of acculturation strategies in the context of contacts between migrants and the host society. The starting point of the discussion is the presentation of selected models of adjustment strategies. The occurrence of a particular type of adaptation is determined by different factors, which can be divided into two basic groups. On one hand there are external factors, on the other, there are the migrant’s own predispositions and attitudes. Individual determinants constituting each of those groups are subjected to a detailed analysis. At the same time, a particular attention is paid to the changeable character of the interactions between the migrants and the receiving community. The coexistence of all of the above factors leads to their mutual interrelations affecting the complexity and the dynamics of the adjustment process.

This article describes issues related to the internal complexity of the Polish community in Britain, and the mutual relations between its members. The case of London, a city with the highest concentration of Poles in the UK is considered. The starting point for the analysis is a presentation of the circumstances of Polish emigration to Britain after World War II, in the period of political transformation, and in the first phase of the post-accession flow. Later, the paper compares the postwar and the post-accession migrants - their spatial distributions, employment structures, and housing situations. Lastly, the article presents the factors which determine the contacts between the members of the Polish community. Undoubtedly, what is very important are the differences in the type of migration, which was either political or economic.
