Place attachment and translocal ties: adult descendants of Polish migrants in Sweden

2024 (English)In: Migration and Families between East and North of Europe: Translocal Lifelines / [ed] Laura Assmuth, Marina Hakkarainen, Marit Aure, Pihla Maria Siim, London: Routledge, 2024, p. 45-62Chapter in book (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

This chapter focuses its interest on the position adult descendants of migrants hold within translocal families and their attachment to various places. Based on an ethnographic analysis of 31 in-depth interviews with descendants of Polish migrants who grew up and reached adulthood in Sweden, the aim is to explore how they create translocal ties and attachment to place. The chapter explores the processes by which place attachment is shaped: place attachment in relation to mobility, to multiple locations and to locations on different scales. Using a critical theoretical perspective on place, as well as the lens of critical race and whiteness studies, it also situates place attachment in a larger socio-political landscape and shows how the descendants’ place attachment was created in relation to, among other things, their whiteness positions and their parents’ status as one-time migrants. The bonds constructed reached across multiple locations on different scales, with the various locations in the descendants’ lives linked together, although different emotions were attached to these places and dissimilar significance and meaning ascribed.
