Migration and culture (edited with Gunvor Jonnson pp. 781)
2011
Cohen and Jónsson have assembled an impressive array of contributions that will interest researchers, teachers, and students who wish to understand the complex relationships between migration and culture. They begin with their own original essay on the complicated relationship between culture and migration. Informative and wide-ranging, it performs the important task of defining culture. . . This introductory essay provides a good, substantive overview of issues surrounding the topic of migration and culture. . . This book deserves the attention of all scholars who study migration. The contributions vividly reflect the international character of research on migration and culture, demonstrating that social scientists around the world, analyzing migration in its many different contexts, are profoundly advancing knowledge about the relationship between it and culture. . . In addition, the collection convincingly reveals that ethnographic methods of investigation are shedding new light on the noneconomic causes and consequences of migration that have been unduly neglected by quantitative studies. Economists, sociologists, and geographers would gain an appreciation of this brand of qualitative research by consulting the volume. Finally, the contributions provide rich evidence that the traditional model of migration, settlement, adaptation, and assimilation that has guided research should be replaced by a fresh theoretical approach that conceptualizes migration in terms of transnational identities and transnational communities.

A Vast Tableau of Migrations: Conclusion
Prace Historyczne
This work is the fi rst result of international research conducted on migrations throughout the world, the initiative and idea going back to Paweł Sękowski of the Jagiellonian University and expanded to a network of young researchers who have come out of Polish universities. Thus, these contributions represent a "work in progress," research which is in the process of being developed in greater depth, in different stages of advancement. Each author has summarised his or her contribution in a concise manner. In the format of the given studies, the epistemological issues raised by the questions addressed and the historiographical issues can only constitute a background, with so much of the fi eld animated by dynamic international debates. An important consideration was that the readings off ered in this part of the review did not try to be primarily about these issues of historians' writing. The intermediate published results, often very dense, are all the more useful. We will try to sketch some of the cross-cutting contributions and the perspectives which their work opens up. A WIDE RANGE OF THEMATICS By way of examples, the contributions attest to the vast range of subjects across the world and currently represented in the work of young Polish researchers. 1 Beyond their specifi c content, some of them also facilitate access to research in multiple lan-1 For instance, the group's fi rst colloquium, referred to in the Introduction, covered equally Catalonia (Blanka Rzewuska), the Palestinians (Elżbeta Deja), the Irish diaspora in the United States (Małgorzata Furgacz), Tibet and the Tuareg (Oleg Kwiatkowska), as well as methods in social psychology (Magdalena Skrodzka).
Premises fora general theory of migration as the engine of history, focusing on the different types of travelers, questions of belonging and identity, and as a critique of nationalisms and myths of origin. A book on the subject is in its final stages

Introduction: The Origins of Migration
Intergenerational Consequences of Migration, 2016
Osman worked in a tea factory in Turkey. He was married with three children, two daughters and a son. His father was dead and his brother had moved to Europe. They used to work in the tobacco fields in Acisu, a village in Akcaabat. But in the 1960s, the tobacco fields were badly damaged by blue mould, causing many men to look elsewhere for work. Osman secretly wanted to move to Europe; although his wife supported him, his mother was worried that her sons would lose their belief and get lost in a non-Islamic land. His application was initially declined because he was diagnosed as having anaemia; as luck would have it, the officer said they desperately needed workers, but gave him a very short time to prepare his move. He quickly convinced his mother and said goodbye to his wife and children.
