Bemerkung:

Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - This book provides timely insights into the lives of Polish migrants who have been settling in Norway with their partners and children, especially over the last decade. It brings together Polish and Norwegian scholars who shed light on the key areas of migrant family practices in the transnational space. The contributors critically assess social capital of those living mobile lives, discuss the role of institutions, as well as engage with the broad problematics of caring ? both with regard to migrant children raised in Norway, and the elderly kin members left behind in Poland. Further, the authors tackle the question of the possibilities and constrains of integration, pointing to several areas of policy implications of transnationalism for both Poland and Norway. - Contents: Krystyna Iglicka, Katarzyna Gmaj & Antoni Wierzejski: Contextualizing Polish Migration to Norway in the light of theory and statistical data -- Eugene Guribye: Two waves, two contexts:: On the changing conditions for social networking among Polish migrants in Norway -- Jakub M.
