Migration and modernisation - An alternative. polemic essay with Marek Okólski's article "modernising impacts of emigration"

Abstract

In this polemic essay I critically engage with the migration-modernisation argument presented by Marek Okólski in his article "Modernising Impacts of Emigration" published in "Studia Socjologiczne", issue 3, volume 206. By employing postcolonial and decolonial theory I offer an alternative voice in the discussion on theorising migration. The polemic attempts to question the prevailing thinking on the migratory situation in Poland (patterns of immigration and emigration) anchored in the rhetoric of modernity and, by doing so, provoke further discussion on theorising and researching migration in Poland.
