The present paper is aimed to analyze how certain concepts of political identity are translated into poeticsof identity in contemporary Spanish narrative. The analysis covers four novels published since 1998,written by Spanish authors and which achieved high rates of sales and positive critical recognition. Thestudy was not limited to specific immigrant groups in order to reflect a variety of experiences and politicalpositions represented in the texts. The paper is a study of the image and functions of immigrantcharacters in selected Spanish novels of the last three decades: Háblame, musa, de aquel varón (1998) by Dulce Chacón, Ventajas de viajar en tren (2000) by Antonio Orejudo, Cosmofobia (2007) by Lucía Etxebarria and En la orilla (2013) by Rafael Chirbes. Sociologists and psychologists indicate three main classes of negative attitudes towards immigrants (citizen insecurity, threat to cultural identity and competitiveness in obtaining resources). Within this context the article aims to determine to what extent the literary representations of immigrant characters constitute reproductions or transgressions of culturally prefabricated images of the Other and explores the different narrative and ideological functions these characters play. The paper also studies the presence of discourses that support social exclusion of immigrants and the means of subverting them.

Political participation of immigrants (expressed for example by their participation in elections, representation in political parties or in the leadership functions of a city) is now seen as one of the key elements supporting their integration into the major society. In France was already in 1983 founded civil association called Votation citoyenne (Civil vote), but despite more than 30 years of its campaigns and diligent work, the results obtained are rather vague. So far, the law that would give to the foreigners from the countries outside of the EU the right to vote and to be elected at least in the local elections was only approved but did not enter into the force. However, between the years 2001 and 2008, this form of their participation in political life had bigger dynamics in the region of Basse-Normandie than in the region of Paris.

The lower level of education for health and school education among vulnerable groups from Romania is an important part of the vicious circle of poverty and social removal, in particular for Roma minority. The quality of education and health related to this minority group is correlated with cultural aspects and the Roma attitude toward those determinants factors. The study relies on data obtained after questioning a number of 50 people, Roma that immigrated in Rennes, France and 50 Roma from Mironu, Valea Moldovei County, Suceava city. The results of the research show a considerable difference between the attitude of the Roma people from France compared with the attitude of the Romas from Romania regarding the health services and the education that they benefit. The immigrants have a positive attitude regarding the school and the medical services, after applying the quiz it can be said that they are pretty unpleased of the Romanian services than the foreign ones. Although, the Roma minority has the support of the authorities in Rennes and also in Mironu, support for social inclusion and adaptation in a local community, but they are reluctant in accepting these benefits. The programs developed for helping them hadn’t had the expected results, though. Health and education have a specific purpose in developing the society in general. Now we can say that solving the problem with the access to education and health for Roma minority represents the key of their social and economic integration.

According to the Department of Foreign Affairs more and more people come to Poland in order to settle here. Although Poland is considered to be one of the least attractive countries in the European Union for incomers, many of them marry Polish citizens, find a job, study or start their own business in Poland. Such people live in big cities as well as in towns, becoming the members of local communities. Some of them are Catholics of various denominations, others are Christians from other Churches, some are non-believers or remain indifferent to any religion. They all, however, constitute a challenge for pastoral care of the family which aims at bringing them closer to Christ. Parish pastoral care priests, as it is indicated in the teaching of the Church, can undertake various initiatives according to the religious or denominational affiliation of the immigrants and their needs. The forms of assistance of pastoral care priests involve satisfying spiritual, psychological and material needs of incomers. However, the main aim of pastoral care is to integrate the newcomers with the local community.

Cultural Participation of the Studentd from Ukraine in PolandAlmost 40 thousand Ukrainians study in Poland. This is the second largest student group in our country. The main reason for them to study here is to get a diploma but an academic period is also a time of intense cultural participation. In this article I analyze the perception of culture by Ukrainians. What do art and culture mean for them? What they appreciate and what they reject in this sphere. Do they attend high culture events or they prefer popular culture? Finally, what is the difference between cultural participation in Poland and in Ukraine? This article is based on 50 qualitative interviews among Ukrainian students in Warsaw. Uczestnictwo w polskiej kulturze imigrantów edukacyjnych z UkrainyW Polsce studiuje prawie 40 tysięcy Ukrainek i Ukraińców. Jest to największa po Polakach grupa narodowościowa studentów w naszym kraju. Przyjeżdżają oni tutaj głównie po to, żeby zdobyć dyplom, ale studia to również czas intensywnej partycypacji kulturalnej. W artykule przyglądam się postrzeganiu kultury przez Ukraińców. Jakie znaczenie przypisują kulturze i sztuce, co w niej cenią, a co odrzucają? Czyu czestniczą w kulturze wysokiej, czy popularnej? Co jest zachętą do uczestnictwa, a co stanowi bariery? W końcu, jaka jest różnica między uczestnictwem w kulturze w Polsce i na Ukrainie? Artykuł powstał na podstawie 50 wywiadów jakościowych przeprowadzonych wśród studiujących w Warszawie.

This article introduces so-called honour crimes (sometimes termed honour based violence), which tends to occur within Islamic communities located within ‘host’ countries in Europe. It is a very specific type of crime, which takes place in the family setting in Muslim families, and is in direct contradiction with the democratic values and legal systems of Western states. The aim of this paper is to introduce the issue and illustrate it in relation to selected cases. It offers both an evaluative and descriptive stance.

Celem badania było określenie czynników, które wpływają na decyzję o udzielaniu pomocy finansowej przez imigrantów swoim starym rodzicom pozostałym w kraju pochodzenia. Na podstawie danych ankietowych z Niemiec (baza German Socio-Economic Panel), emigracji zarobkowej najważniejszych krajów docelowych, autorzy porównują skłonność do pomagania rodzicom okazywaną przez różne grupy imigrantów. Najwyższa skłonność do wspierania starych rodziców występuje u pierworodnych córek, niezależnie od narodowości. Imigranci z Rumunii oraz z Kazachstanu i Rosji wykazują najwyższą skłonność do wspierania finansowego swoich rodziców, natomiast w przypadku imigrantów z innych krajów UE-15 widać istotną statystycznie niechęć do takiego wsparcia; w przypadku Polaków efekt ten nie jest statystycznie istotny. Pośród grup religijnych najwyższą skłonność do wspierania rodziców wykazują prawosławni imigranci, natomiast negatywny i statystycznie istotny efekt występuje w przypadku protestantów.

The authors try to determine the factors affecting the decisions taken by immigrants about the financial support provided for elder parents left in the home country. Using survey data for Germany, one of the major destination countries of labour emigration, the authors compare the willingness showed by various groups of immigrants to help their parents. The highest willingness to do so is observed among the first-born daughters, independent on their nationality. Immigrants from Romania, Kazakhstan and Russia tend to be most inclined to support financially their parents while immigrants from other EU-15 countries rather avoid to offer such support; in case of Polish immigrants, this effect is not significant statistically. Among religious groups, the most willing to assist their parents are the Orthodox immigrants while for Protestants, this effect is negative and statistically significant.

Целью исследования было определение факторов, которые влияют на решение иммигрантов оказывать финансовую помощь своим пожилым родителям, которые остались в стране происхождения. На основе анкетных данных, полученных от иммигрантов из важнейших в этом отношении стран (немецкая база German Socio-Economic Panel), авторы сравнивают готовность поддерживать родителей разными группами иммигрантов. Самая высокая готовность к оказанию помощи родителям характерна для старших дочерей, независимо от национальности. У иммигрантов из Румынии, Казахстана и России это желание наиболее велико, а в случае иммигрантов из стран ЕС-15 наблюдается статистически существенное нежелание оказывать помощь; в случае поляков этот эффект не является статистически существенным. Среди различных религиозных групп самую высокую готовность проявляют православные иммигранты, а отрицательный и статистически существенный эффект имеется в случае протестантов.

Awareness that immigrant integration takes place at a local level has been growing for several years. Immigration policy debates and decisions mostly occur at the national level, but the question of how to implement immigrant integration policy is much more urgent at a local level. The purpose of the article is to present the multidimensionality of integration actions as well as examples of projects considered to be “best practices” that are carried out today at the local level in German and UK cities of different sizes. The countries chosen have long histories of immigration and have developed significantly different approaches to immigration issues, nevertheless local experiences (in both countries) highlight not only differences but also similarities in immigrant integration policy. The surveys presented help us to understand that immigrant integration is a complicated process that can be stimulated in various ways, and that there is no single way to introduce policy towards immigrants.

The article characterizes seven sources of the criticism of the policy of multiculturalism in the context of the recently voiced opinions of the western European political leaders. The described sources of criticism are: the financial crisis and the need to reduce the social spending, the pessimistic visions of the future of the European culture, the globalization, the increasing number of the immigrants and their descendants, understanding the multiculturalism as an unification rather than co-existence of different cultures, the decreasing impact of the historical and political events that were an inspiration to the politics of multiculturalism and finally the still high unemployment rate among the immigrants and their descendants.

Labour immigrants play an increasingly important role in balancing the situation on labour market in Poland. Given the low demographic growth rate, pessimistic forecasts, mass labour emigration and structural maladjustment of the labour market, Poland faces the huge challenge of preventing a collapse of the pension system and public finance. A solution to the problem could be, for example, an inflow of foreign workers. The character of this paper is both theoretical and practical. The purpose of the article is to analyse the phenomenon of labour immigration in Poland (legal regulations governing employment of foreign workers, scale of immigration) and to present the opinions of employers concerning the employment of foreigners and the obstacles associated with it. The results of surveys conducted among employers in Warmian-Masurian voivodeship will be used for this purpose. According to the respondents, the main advantages of employing immigrants are lower costs (28%) and filling the gaps in the labour market (21%), whereas the biggest obstacle concerns complicated legal regulations (29%).

Free movement of production factors is one of the main conditions of effective economy. This applies to capital as well as knowledge and labour. However, an influx of foreigners to the given country may lead to consequences which are compatible or incompatible with its economic and social interests. These consequences depend on the specific situation of the given country in various areas connected with the state of labour resources, economic trends and strategy, or the situation on the labour market. The principal aim of the present article is to provide an insight into the rules for offering jobs to foreigners in Poland and to describe the phenomenon of their employment based on the data aggregated by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. On the basis of the research conducted, a systematic increase in foreigners' employment in Poland could be observed in recent years (particularly as a part of the so-called simplified procedure applied to short-term employment). The largest group of foreigners are Ukrainians, who work mainly in agriculture, forestry, fishery, hunting, construction, retail and in household employing workers.

The article analyzes the problem of immigrants’ participation in the elections on a local level as a display of political activity and the means of integration of the country and its migrants. Assuming the European-wide perspective it is noticeable that given countries differentiate in the level of enabling immigrants to participate in the political life. In Scandinavia and several north European countries there is the highest rate of immigrants’ participation, on the other hand, in the countries that joined the EU in 2004 the rate is the lowest. In 2010 immigrants without the EU citizenship were able to run for the local elections in 13 European countries and they had the voting right in 19 countries. In Poland only the EU citizens are allowed to participate in the elections. The research into the legal solutions enabling immigrants (especially those who are not from the EU) to acquire more voting rights proved to have interesting results. The research has shown that over a half of the people willing to participate in the parliamentary elections is for granting the voting rights to immigrants. According to the research among the electorates, the substantial percentage of the Platforma Obywatelska voters proved to be in favor of granting the voting rights to immigrants. Less support is displayed by the potential voters of SLD and Ruch Palikota. Furthermore, the majority of the PiS voters is against the immigrants’ participation in the local elections. Finally, the results of the research show that voters perceive differently the problem of granting immigrants the right to vote versus the right to stand for the elections. Although the first one is accepted by the majority of voters, the latter - not so much.

This article attempts to analyse preparation of the Polish labour market to welcome migrant workers from outside the European Union. In addition to the numerous statistics showing the current state of the domestic labour market, the author focuses on aspects related to entering the job market by young people and their chances of getting a job. Also analysed is the readiness of Polish society to accept immigrants. The psychological acceptance of immigrants is an extremely important area, especially in the situation of mass inflow of workers from Ukraine, Belarus and other countries from post-Soviet Europe. According to official statistics over 2 million people came to Poland since 2014, which is the largest wave of immigration in the modern history of Poland. Current and adequate knowledge about the Polish labour market is only a starting point for undertaking work on the development of mechanisms to facilitate the immigrants not only the beginning of work, but also a happy life in Poland

Most researchers agree that the essence of humour lies in its social nature. Thus it is only reasonable to assume that there is a link between laughter and success in relationships with other people and circumstances. Indeed, such conclusions have been drawn. Humour is said to develop the capacity to foster a multi-perspective comprehension of life, which can in extreme situations determine the difference between surviving and perishing. The people who fled Estonia during World War II and did not want to return for fear of being repressed by the Soviet regime, were generally allowed to apply for immigration in Western countries as refugees. This article pertains to some aspects of humour used in the written press by the New York Estonian refugee community in 1949. The character of a young lady called Salme is narrating her family’s first clumsy steps in their new homeland. The body of the text is in the form of letters addressed to former schoolmates who have not yet immigrated to their new permanent countries of residence, but are presumably still living in a displaced persons’ camp in Germany. It is argued that Salme’s letters were designed to provide comic relief from tensions common to new immigrants and old refugees. By showcasing the problems, concerns and actions that most (if not all) New York refugee Estonians could relate to, they promoted a light-hearted view of the difficulties of this particular type of existence. This set of texts is also used to make observations regarding the collective identity of the writers and their perceived audience, the intra-group relationships and connections with the outer world, Americans, the City and the array of cultural differences that they entail.

The thesis of a symbolic significance of space for a particular community underscores the integrating role of place as a cultural value. The author analyses the connection between the space of French suburbs and the identity of their inhabitants, especially those of immigrant extraction. Therefore, she refers to selected texts of the rich output of French hip-hop artists. She places the pieces in the context of the responds given the French of immigrant roots surveyed in 2003. The analysis of the works of the French rappers demonstrates that their texts express a strong identity with the place of origin and residence built on cultural separateness and, simultaneously, on a strong feeling of social homogeneity of the quarter, which is an additional integrating factor.

The expansion of the European Union and the accession of ten new EU member states in 2004, as well as the accession of Bulgaria and Romania in 2007, meant that the new borders of the EU came to encompass most of the Roma minorities living on the Old Continent. The Roma, as well as being the largest ethnic group in modern Europe, are also its most marginalised group. They have been and continue to be ostracised, excluded from society, and discriminated against on all possible social levels. I will focus on the mass exodus of the Roma to Western Europe, which was triggered by the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union. Thousands of new Roma emigrants moved to the West in search of a better life, without possessing jobs, health care or social insurance, living en masse in camps on the edge of towns and cities. The beginning of the global economic crisis in 2008 and this massive influx of Roma immigrants living in extreme poverty was an explosive mix which led to a deepening and intensification of Anti‑Roma feeling in Western Europe creating a radicalisation of policy concerning Roma.

The transformation of spatial structures due to the migration flows is reflected not only in forms of interactions between representatives of a majority and minorities, but also in forms of implementation of integration strategies. The study shows that the implementation of integration strategies towards non-EU immigrants is strongly contextually conditioned: the demand (within the limits of available financial and human resources) determines the offer. The study evaluated integration measures applied by public and private stakeholders in selected areas with the aim to promote the integration of non-EU immigrants into the local labour market during the current economic crisis.
