Polish cities of migration : the migration transition in Kalisz, Piła and Płock /

Polish Cities of Migration analyses how Poland is transitioning to a new identity as a 'country of immigration'. Based on in-depth interviews with return migrants and foreign migrants, the book argues that migrants' feeling of comfort can be explained mostly by network and lifestyle.
