| Description | An increasing migration within Central-Eastern European migration space has been receiving a growing attention in both academic research and public debate. In this region, rather inexperienced with foreign newcomers who often seem to settle for longer than previously expected, questions of migrants' inclusion and the processes of change of legal as well as symbolic boundaries of membership in various imagined communities are being opened. Based on the analysis of narrative interviews with migrants, the paper will focus on the process of negotiation of migrants' belongings under tensions brought by living cross-border lives in the world dominated by nationalist order. |
