Navigating (im)mobility in an urban space: Migrant’s lived experience in Kyiv/Ukraine before 2022
Before the full-scale war, Ukraine was one of the key origin countries for migrants seeking to move to the European Union. While considerable research has covered international migration, the understanding of how internal and international migration in Ukraine are interconnected is under-researched. The paper aims to situate the urban dimension at the core of the analysis to discuss the patterns of internal and external mobilities and their inter…
Central European Populists and the Racialization of Various Others
Polish Catholic environmentalism as the counterculture movement
The increasing participation of faith leaders in environmental debates has led to the renewed interest in the ‘greening of religions’. This paper examines the frames employed by religious actors to encourage environmental action, with a focus on the eco-movement within the Roman Catholic Church in Poland. Its narratives are connected to the goals of promoting ‘ecological conversion’ and encouraging change at the community level. We demonstrate ho…
Between needs, goods and services: Ukrainian immigrants on the Polish religious market
This article seeks to address the intersection of migration and religion/religious affiliation of migrants in Central Europe. Increase in immigration from Ukraine to Poland observed since around 2015 has been challenging and remodeling religious relations in the relatively homogeneous country. Drawing on the qualitative research conducted in 2020 in Krakow, one of the key Polish destinations for the migrants, this article explores the strategies …
Stop calling me Murzyn' - how Black Lives Matter in Poland
The scholarship on race and racism has tended to focus mostly on countries in Western Europe. It has thereby overlooked racial dynamics taking place in other regions - including Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). This article examines the reverberations of the recent global antiracist mobilisation triggered by the killing of George Floyd in the United States in this underexplored context. Specifically, it considers the significance of the ‘Black L…
Investigating neighbourhood concentration of immigrants in Poland: Explorative evidence from Kraków
Aim. This study contributes to research on new immigrant destinations in CEE by investigating the neighbourhood concentration of immigrants in Poland. We focus on Kraków – the second largest city – for which we have built a unique register-based dataset containing geocoded individual level data. To our knowledge, it is the first high-quality dataset of this type, prepared and used for research purposes in Poland. We use it to describe immigrants’…
The Responses of Religious Communities to Migration and the Transformation of a Quasi-Monopolistic Religious Market
This article investigates links between religion and migration processes through a study of religious communities’ approaches towards migrants. Drawing from the religious economy perspective, the paper explores the under-researched topic of the role of migration in the dynamics of a religious field in the context of Central and Eastern Europe. The qualitative research performed in 2020 in Krakow – one of the key destinations for migrants in Polan…
From Reception to Integration of Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Poland
Muslims in Scotland: The Making of Community in a Post-9/11 World, written by Stefano Bonino
The Catholic Church in Poland on Muslims and Islam
The politicization of the increased influx of migrants to Europe in recent years, as well as Islamist terrorist attacks carried out in European cities, have led to a situation in which anti-Muslim sentiments have reached unprecedented levels. It is not only those European countries directly affected by the growth of the Muslim population that register increased generalized negative feelings towards that population, but also those that are home to…
Saving and fearing Muslim women in ‘post-communist’ Poland: Troubling Catholic and secular Islamophobia
Sexual politics play a key role in anti-Muslim narratives. This has been observed by scholarship problematising liberal feminist approaches towards ‘non-Western’ subjects focusing on countries such as France, the USA and the Netherlands. Yet interrogations into how these debates play out in European national contexts that are located outside of the European ‘West’ have attracted significantly less scholarly attention. Drawing on qualitative data …
From unproblematic to contentious: Mosques in Poland
Although significant scholarly attention has been devoted to the study of mosque conflicts in Europe, up until now most of it has focussed on Western European countries. This has left a significant gap to be filled in the study of mosque tensions in Central and Eastern Europe, where scholarship is scant yet where tensions over constructions of mosques are not less intensive than in the West. Drawing on two recent case studies of mosque constructi…
How Progressive is “Progressive Islam”? The Limits of the Religious Individualization of the European Muslim Elites
The studies on the individualization processes within European Muslim populations advance two opposing theses. While some argue that religious individualization and the related fragmentation of religious authority are leading to the “liberalization and modernization of Islam” and the emergence of a “progressive Islam” in Europe, others claim that in spite of individualization and the diversification of authority structures, the current situation …
European Diversity, Religion and Citizenship
After the terrorist attacks on the London transport network on 7 July 2005 some academics and journalists announced the ‘death of multiculturalism’ in Europe. Multiculturalism, however, cannot be dead because it is a social reality for millions of Europeans. Not only these who live in the global cities like London, Paris, Rome, and others, but also those who live in small ones like the Italian City of Peace, Rovereto. All the European societies f…
A Postcolonial people: South Asians in Britain
L'activisme social des nouvelles élites musulmanes de Grande-Bretagne
Les changements générationnels au sein de la population musulmane de Grande-Bretagne manifestent une différence fondamentale non pas tellement en matière de statut juridique, mais avant tout en matière d’identité et de participation. Les membres des nouvelles élites musulmanes qui apparaissent dans les villes britanniques possèdent une série de moyens efficaces qui leur permettent de choisir entre différents modes d’action et d’abandonner les for…
Creating New Discursive Arenas and Influencing the Policies of the State: The Case of the Muslim Council of Britain
English While the majority of British Muslim organizations established by the first generation of immigrants tend to work within ``ethnic colonies'', the organizations made up by an increasing number of the second generation critically and creatively engage in public debates. One such organization is the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) that strives to represent the interests of all British Muslims vis-à-vis the government. The author analyses the…
