The paper discusses the novel Baśń amerykańska [An American Fairy Tale] by Alicja Iwańska, a Polish writer and sociologist who worked at American universities for many years. The paper discusses the picture of the academic community at a state university in the USA in the 1960s and the way in which it is presented, which makes it possible to classify the text as a campus novel, which is an extremely popular genre in English-language literature. The paper also points to the author’s demythologising view of the USA, challenging the American myth characteristic of the Polish awareness.

Although Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is sometimes referred to as a buffer zone (Iglicka 2001) because of its location between the huge Asian continent and Western Europe, it is also an area of intense and diverse migration flows both internal and external. In a broader sense, the region of Central and Eastern Europe may include countries of the Visegrád Group (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia), the states of the former USSR, as well as southern post-communist states, Bulgaria and Romania, and even the states of the former Yugoslavia and Albania (Okólski 2004; Castles, Miller 2003). This extensive list includes both the countries whose accession to the European Union took place between 2004-2013 (the Visegrád Group countries, the Baltic states, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia), as well as countries which are not EU member states. The EU enlargements created a considerable difference between the status of the countries which became part of the EU and the other states of the region, and influenced intra- and extra-regional migration processes. Mobility in CEE should be analysed with reference to the interrelated fundamental social, economic, and political changes taking place in the region. First, notable is the shrinking and aging of the societies in CEE countries, brought about by fertility decline and family breakdown. Second, we must consider existing migration pressure and intensified post-accession emigration. Third, what is specific to the region are the processes of European integration and of the related profound modernisation. All of the above features create a unique combination of migration-related factors.

We are delighted to introduce to you Central and Eastern European Migration Review (CEEMR) – the first online, multidisciplinary journal devoted specifically to the lively migratory processes of Central and Eastern Europe. In our view, the need for such a journal has been materialising for some time. The growing research output regarding international mobility from and to this region as well as integration patterns of CEE coun-tries’ citizens in destination countries, in particular in the European Union, has created a need for an academ-ic forum on this topic. We believe that CEEMR can effectively respond to this need. The mission of CEEMR is to foster an academic discussion on scholarly works and research pertaining to migration within, into and out of the CEE region. From a comparative perspective, the CEEMR will address a broad range of topics related to international migration including determinants, mechanisms and conse-quences of international migration, as well as migration policies, migrants’ integration and ethnic relations. CEEMR will publish original, scholarly case-studies of CEE countries as well as works taking broader, in-ternational and transnational perspectives to examine migratory processes relevant to CEE countries and their citizens, ethnic minorities, institutions, territories, and policies.

Migration from Eastern to Western Europe gained greater political prominence and scholarly attention both before and after the 2004 EU enlargement. The EU enlargement process not only contributed to a re-integration of European countries from the former Soviet bloc into the rest of Europe, but also set up a new framework for European mobility. A variety of forecasts and analyses concerning mobility across Europe have since been conducted, sometimes providing contradictory outcomes. This process of eastward enlargement was completed in 2007 by a second round, which brought Romania and Bulgaria into the European polity, and led to unjustified fears of massive flows from the two countries to some Western states in particular, such as the United Kingdom. Academic discussion concerning the different types of mobility in Europe is, however, far from being exhausted. New issues have been raised by the economic crisis which is still sweeping the continent, by the demographic deficit affecting both Eastern and Western Europe, and by the next steps in the EU enlargement wave which will again involve South-Eastern Europe – especially the Western Balkan countries (other than Croatia which finally acceded in 2013). The aim of this special issue is to explore the variety of unprecedented processes in the field of migration which have emerged across Europe over the last decade. The papers in it seek to make sense of these processes, while trying to capture their evolving nature in the framework of a European migration system which has only been in existence for a relatively short time and which still lacks consolidated and harmonised rules.

Migration is currently one of the greatest global problems, which has to be dealt with not only by states or their communities, but also by non-state entities operating in the world, including churches and religious associations, which in countries such as Poland have a very strong social resonance. The Catholic Church, on the basis of centuries of heritage, benefits in this sphere from the teaching of successive popes, which, rooted in aid attitudes, is a response to the actions of the state, encouraging the faithful to attitudes in line with the Christian spirit. This article, through an analysis of sources - historical documents, discourse and statistical data - answers the question of how the Catholic Church, state authorities and society in Poland have responded to migration into the country from the East in 2015–2023 period, presenting similarities and differences existing in the statements and opinions of state authorities, Church representatives and society in Poland.

Contemporary world brings along a continuing interpenetration of cultures strengthened by the migration revolution. The social space created by multiplicity of ethnic groups is very often a result of migration processes which totally formed such states as Canada or Australia. The sources of the European multiculturalism were, on the one hand, the officially accepted workforce, on the other hand – immigration being the effect of the colonial past of such states as France, Great Britain or Germany

The Catholic Church is naturally associated with migrants and its history and doctrine are inextricably linked with the migration of people. Many of the documents of the Catholic Church refer to the history of human migration. The responsibility of the Catholic Church for migrants has deep historical and theological roots. The Catholic Church sees both the positive and the negative sides of this phenomenon The pastoral care of migrants is a response to the needs of these people. It does not replace the territorial structures. They both work closely together and complement each other. The primary objective of the pastoral care of migrants is to enable migrants to integrate with the local community. An important element of these structures are religious orders of men and women. The most important thing for migrants is the Christian attitude of the local community to them. Church repeatedly stressed the importance of hospitality to migrants. Both human and Christian attitude towards migrants expresses itself in a good reception, which is the main factor in overcoming the inevitable difficulties, preventing opposites and solving various problems. This attitude helps to alleviate the problems associated with the process of social integration.

In its decision of 6 July 2018, the Constitutional Council of the French Republic used a new term “ignorance of the principle of fraternity” in its reply to two constitutionality questions (QPC) concerning the freedom to aid foreigners on humanitarian grounds regardless of the legality of their stay in national territory. This, in turn, has “legal consequences” for that principle, which has thus far been rarely used by lawyers but frequently evoked by NGOs. The decision in question contains reservations formulated by humanitarian organisations, directed simultaneously against the national legislator and European governance. A number of logics is at play here that are contradictory in a complex way : subjective rights and fundamental freedoms championed by NGOs – which are, however, guaranteed also by European and national institutions – and the objective right focusing on the common good and security, which should be protected by states and the European Union, hence benefitting their inhabitants. In the fervour surrounding the constitutionality question on fraternity pale critical arguments formulated by humanitarian organisations that contest the widely discussed migration policy. Then the author alerts the reader about the need to look for a difficult balance.

FR

Dans sa décision du 6 juillet 2018, le Conseil Constitutionnel de la République française utilise les termes nouveaux de « méconnaissance du principe de fraternité » pour répondre à deux questions prioritaires de constitutionnalité (QPC) relatives à la liberté d’aider un étranger, dans un but humanitaire, sans considération de la régularité de son séjour sur le territoire national. C’est donner « des implications juridiques » à ce principe jusqu’alors peu utilisé par les juristes, mais souvent invoqué par le secteur associatif. Cette décision contient les objections formulées par les associations humanitaires, à la fois contre le législateur national et la gouvernance européenne. Ce sont donc plusieurs logiques qui s’affrontent de façon enchevêtrée, celles des droits subjectifs et des libertés fondamentales que promeut le secteur associatif, mais que garantissent également les institutions européennes et nationales, puis celles du droit objectif dirigé vers le bien commun et la sécurité que doivent défendre les États et l’Union européenne et dont bénéficient les habitants. Dans l’effervescence qui entoure la QPC-Fraternité, jaillissent les critiques formulées par les associations humanitaires contre une politique migratoire qui est commentée dans tous les sens. Puis, viennent les alarmes autour de la recherche d’un équilibre difficile.

Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit dem 2013 veröffentlichten Roman Sitzen vier Polen im Auto. Teutonische Abenteuer von Alexandra Tobor. Als eine Geschichte des Dazwischen-Seins, kann es als ein Diagnostikum des Schwellenzustands verstanden werden. Da in dem Buch eine Migrationsgeschichte erzählt wird, bietet es sich auch an, den Roman nach Turners dreiteiligem Liminalität-Modell zu untersuchen. Demnach sei zu analysieren, inwieweit die Zeit in Polen als eine Bruch- und Trennungsphase, der Aufenthalt im Aussiedlerlager als die Schwellen- oder Übergangsphase und die Zeit in der deutschen Schule als die Angliederungs- oder Reintegrationsphase aufgefasst werden darf. Somit ist der Beitrag ein Versuch der Operationalisierung der genannten Kategorie der Liminalität.

This article is devoted to Alexandra Tobot’s novel Sitzen vier Polen im Auto. Teutonische Abenteuer published in 2013. As a story of “being in-between” the text enables one to analyse the omnipresent state of being in a limbo. At the same time we deal with a migrational story, so we are given the possibility of analysing the novel in the context of Victor Turner’s three-part liminal model. The author of the article has been looking for an answer to the following question: To what extent can the time spent in Poland be understood as a stage of exclusion, the time spent in the refugee camp as a transitory stage and the time at a German school as the stage of integration? In this way the article is an attempt at putting the category of liminality into operation.

Since the beginning of the 1980s, the previously one-dimensional economic approach that was once dominant in migration studies has been critically reviewed and, as a result, migration has become problematised. The incorporation of other dimensions in the analysis of the processes of migration allowed for more complex diagnoses of global inequalities and related socio-cultural phenomena.

This article attempts to look at migration from an anthropological perspective, especially at the issues of integration and the changes seen in the identity of migrants. Motivation and readiness for change, along with the existing stereotypes and personal experiences of a migrant, constitute successful adaptation in a new place of residence. One of the most important elements of integration in a new society is the knowledge of this group’s language, it facilitates entering the community and is very important in terms of the reproduction of one’s identity in the new place of residence. The recreation of one’s identity is necessary, because a migrant is placed in a completely new reality in which his / her previous social role and status are different. The creation of identity happens in between the two concepts of familiarity and foreignness. The description of the above-mentioned topics was based on the partially structured interviews with Brazilians living in Poznań for at least 2 years. The bibliographies included form the basis of the anthropological analysis of migration.

The article addresses the issue of peace in the world, particularly through an appeal to care for all those who suffer from armed conflicts and who, for this and other reasons, decide to leave their homes. The involvement of the Catholic Church in providing help to the victims of armed conflicts is the sub-ject of the article, in which, on the basis of the support provided for families in Ukraine and evacuated to Poland, the author attempts to demonstrate the prac-tical dimension of the Church teaching on this subject. The paper analyses the biblical guidance concerning aid to newcomers and foreigners, and the teaching of the Catholic Church on refugees and migrants. An appeal addressed to Catholics to support those harmed by armed conflicts in their home country and all migrants and refugees is presented. The article shows how the appeal de-rived from the Catholic teaching is implemented in practice by helping the sufferers from Ukraine. The aid to the persons evacuated from Donbas pro-vided at the first stage of their adaptation to Poland by Caritas of the Warmian Archdiocese is analysed in detail.

This article explores the differences in the understanding of ‘intergroup relations’ and measures underaken in the area of intercultural policies in four Central and East European (CEE) cities: Budapest, Prague, Wrocław and Tallinn. The analysis is based on interviews and field research carried out in 2008 in these cities in cooperation with local scientific experts, representatives of the ethnic communities and officials of the Municipalities as part of the Eurofound research project CLIP1. It explores the national and local political frameworks for intergroup policy and the target groups for such strategies and policies. The main aim of this article is to carry out a comparative analysis of four cities from the CEE countries in order to indicate the similarities and differences in the understanding of intergroup relations. It investigates the type of actors involved in this process and whether their actions are catalysed from the top-down or bottom–up.

During the research in Norway, our Polish-Norwegian team encountered a social factwhich inspired us to create a separate research field in the project. Many intervieweesmentioned the name of The Child Welfare Service of Norway: Barnevernet. The majorityof opinions about this service were negative – both in the respondents’ narratives and onthe internet forums for the Polish migrants (‘mojanorwegia’) or social network fan pages(Polacy w Stavanger, Polacy w Norwegii). There are vividly negative emotions present inthe Poles’ statements about raising children in Norway, and the fear of Barnevernet is particularlyapparent. It was this ‘fear’ that triggered the research presented in this article. Westarted to look for its presence in both the Polish public reality and in the private sphere.We decided to use a critical discourse analysis to discover communication mechanismswhich have influenced the shape of the Polish attitude towards Barnevernet.

The article discusses the activities of August Martin in the Caucasus, where he organised cultural life in Estonian settlers’ society, strengthening their ties with the motherland Estonia and organising a correspondents’ network to collect folklore and write down memories in their villages. August Martin, born in 1893 in Virumaa, Estonia, was a schoolteacher who spent almost all his long life (died in 1982) in his home county, but worked for six years (1915–1921) as schoolteacher in Abkhazia, in Upper Linda village, which had been established by agrarian settlers from Estonia. In the 1880s, a number of Estonian villages were founded in Abkhazia: Estonia, Upper and Lower Linda, Salme, and Sulevi. Estonians also lived in Sukhum, the administrative centre of the region and later the capital of Abkhazia. Martin arrived in Abkhazia in 1915, after he had been prohibited to work as a schoolteacher in Estonia for political reasons. As an active person, Martin organised the cultural and economic life of Estonians in Upper Linda village and Sukhum. Beginning in 1916, he was a member of the board of the Estonian Economic Society of Sukhum, as well as the chairman of the Education Society of Upper Linda. In 1917 he was elected the chairman of the council of the Estonian settlements in South Caucasus. In addition to leadership positions in Estonian organisations, in 1919–21 August Martin was elected to the Abkhazian parliament. As an Estonian nationalist, he welcomed with great sympathy the Abkhaz nationalists’ demands for independence. Because of his pro-Abkhazian thoughts and activities in Abkhazia, which since the summer of 1918 had been occupied by Georgian militants, August Martin found like-minded people among Abkhaz nationalists, but fierce opponents among Georgian Mensheviks, who formed the parliamentary majority. After the Bolsheviks had come to power in Abkhazia in 1921, August Martin re-migrated to Estonia with his family. Because of the closure of the borders between Soviet Russia and the Republic of Estonia contacts with the Caucasian Estonians were almost broken off. Martin began to visit Abkhazia again in the late 1950s; he warmed up relationships with old acquaintances from the Abkhazian Estonian society and encouraged them to write down memories and histories of their villages.

In June 2014, the border between Mexico and the United States (US) witnessed the arrival of more than 50,000 unaccompanied children from Central America trying to get to the US in order to join their parents, escape from different types of abuse and violence, or find new opportunities. The growing numer of children in the border has developed a humanitarian crisis involving many actors, such as the children, the American government, the US border state governments, the Mexican government, the governments of Central America and many NGOs concerned by the problematic situation. The current paper seeks to analyze the origin and development of the crisis, as well as its consequences, and the actions that the actors mentioned above have taken, or not.

Peddling is one way of selling goods, which, unlike other forms of trade, takes place in the home of the customer. The first mention of peddlers is found in the Middle Ages and the early Modern period, but in Central Europe it started evolving in the 18th century. It became a way to get material security for the poor population, especially in mountainous and foothill areas. Peddlery was subjected to the intense control of the authorities and was restricted by certain legal standards. In Moravia and Silesia peddlers were not only local people, but also traders from neighbouring countries of the Habsburg Monarchy (Slovakia, Galicia) or the Balkans. In the majority society a negative stereotype gradually began to form of the peddler, influenced, for example, by traders and artisans from the towns, by printing, by the anti-Semitic movement, etc. But in rural communities peddlers who respected basic ethical norms were able to gain people’s trust.

In the context of post‑accession migration from Poland it is important to analyze not only its economic but social and cultural implications for receiving and home country as well as for migrants themselves. Recent migration takes place in a new context of inter‑European mobility and as such can be treated as a part of ‘life project’, career strategy and a new form of migration. The paper focus is on the theoretical and empirical frame of social and cultural capital accumulated by migrants abroad and transferred into home country. The theoretical framework is supposed to provide a base for empirical research on the social and cultural capital transfer possibilities in the case of return migration. The question such a research would try to answer is: can the return migrants bean active actors of innovation and social change?
