Researchers interested in integration have cautioned against ignoring issues of difference and inequality between groups in society. Research about the effects of contact between people from different ethnic communities suggests that outcomes can be mixed. Moreover, recent tensions about ‘British’ jobs have suggested the need to address competition between groups. In this paper I explore results from ESRC funded research with people who describe themselves as Polish and focus on views about people from other ethnic communities. I begin with an examination of the different ways in which being Polish was defined, who was seen as ‘other’ and discuss the significance of contestations over ethnicity. I examine the different ways in which people defined integration, discuss positive and negative views about members of other ethnic communities and then go on to examine the ways in which these views influenced the kinds of contacts people established. I suggest that assumptions about the values of people from other ethnic communities affected decisions about integration. Perceptions of other ethnic communities, including English ones, were also ascriptions of gender and class and challenge any simplistic notion of community or integration.

This article focuses on interethnic relationship in a diaspora situation within a multicultural society. Using the example of the relationship between Polish and Ukrainian immigrants in the United States author try to provide an answer to the question whether and to what extent are the interethnic relations transferred into a diaspora situation? In the analysis particular attention is focused on the macro and microsocial determinants of mutual relationships as well as on the various elements of interethnic relations, including: spheres of cooperation, conflict areas, daily interactions, ethnic distance, mutual perceptions and spatial relations.The major descriptive and the basic definition term is „displaced borderland”. This concept is based on the assumption that the contacts and relations between these groups are very often determined by the European heritage.

The article is devoted to the analysis of tolerance and xenophobia of the Ukrainians of the Trans-Carpathian region towards some ethnic groups. Based on the opinion polls conducted according to Bogardus method of measuring of social distance, the author analysed the attitude to the Russian speaking Ukrainians, the Hungarians, the Romanians, the Russians, the Roma, the Slovaks, the Jews, the Americans and the Hindus. The survey results indicate that the Ukrainians of the Trans-Carpathian region mostly demonstrate their tolerance towards the Slovaks, the Americans and the Russian-speaking Ukrainians. The social distance to the Hungarians, the Romanians, the Jews and the Hindus can be characterised as alienation. There is an openly xenophobic attitude towards the Russians and the Roma people.

The Chinese minority is one of the largest ethnic groups of foreign origin living in Indonesia. While almost all of its members are Indonesia-born and speak Indonesian, often along with one of the local languages, many of them up-hold traditions from their ancestors' land. Furthermore, all but a few follow one of the minority religions in a mostly Muslim country. That, together with a long and complicated history of relations of the Chinese minority with the local population, results in mutual distrust and isolation of modern indigenous Indonesians and those of Chinese origin. The article is an attempt to describe and explain briefly those relations as part of complex Asian ethnic reality. However, as Indonesian society consists of hundreds of local ethnic groups and acknowledging the differences among the Chinese communities from various parts of the Indonesian archipelago, the article concentrates on one chosen example of West Sumatra. The present ethnic relations between the local Chinese community and Minangkabau, the indigenous ethnic group predominant in the province, are shown in the context of local social history (beginning with the Dutch era) as well as in the national politics in independent Republic of Indonesia. The article tells about the religious, cultural, identity and economic aspects of the problem. It also shows how the ethnic situation affects the urban space of Padang, the capital city of the West Sumatran province. Although it is a case study of the ethnic relations of two particular groups, it highlights the broader phenomenon of which those relations are a part, showing both - what is common in the Chinese Indonesians' situation in various regions and what is specific for West Sumatran case.
