Rethinking Settlement and Integration: Migrants' Anchoring in an age of Insecurity (Manchester University Press)
Aleksandra Grzymala-Kazlowska
Synopsis "Rethinking Settlement and Integration: Migrants' Anchoring in an age of Insecurity (Manchester University Press)"
This monograph argues that concepts well-established in migration studies such as ‘settlement’ and ‘integration’ do not sufficiently capture the features of adaptation and settling of contemporary migrants. Instead, Grzymala-Kazlowska proposes the integrative and transdisciplinary concept of 'anchoring', linking notions of identity, adaptation and settling while underlining migrants’ efforts at recovering their feeling of security and stability. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Polish migrants in the United Kingdom and Ukrainian migrants in Poland, this book aims not only examines the processes of adaptation and settling among today’s migrants, but highlights practical implications to better support individuals facing changes and challenges in new, complex and fluid societies.
