The monograph discusses up-to-date issues concerning the acculturation of a Middle Eastern group in a European country. The book is based on research conducted by the Author in 2014 in the Assyrian/Syriac diaspora in Sweden, within the framework of the "Defining and Identifying Middle Eastern Christian Communities in Europe" project. Assyrians/Syriacs (Assyrier/Syrianer) began to arrive in Scandinavia in the late 1960s, fleeing the wars and meagre economic prospects in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. Today, they constitute an active diaspora which contributes in various ways to the development of its new homeland and numbers around 150 000 people. The Author describes Swedish migration and integration policies, the history of the Assyrian/Syriac community in the Middle East, the phases and forms of institutionalisation in Sweden, internal dynamics as well as the group's relations with external actors and its transnational links. One of the main findings of the book is that the ethno-national identity of this community was largely constructed in the Swedish diaspora and is considerably more complex than it had previously been described in research. The identity in question is not a single construct, but rather a few - if not a few dozen - variants, although polarisation resulting from the divide between Assyrians and Arameans/Suryoye/Syriacs is visible.

"Publikacja powstała na podstawie badań Autorki przeprowadzonych wśród społeczności asyryjsko-aramejskiej w Szwecji. Asyryjczycy/Aramejczycy trafili do Skandynawii w późnych latach 60. XX wieku, uciekając z Turcji, Syrii, Iraku i Libanu przed wojnami oraz brakiem perspektyw. Obecnie stanowią prężną, liczącą ponad sto dwadzieścia tysięcy osób diasporę, która na różne sposoby przyczynia się do rozwoju swojej przybranej ojczyzny. Szwedzki model, aczkolwiek niedoskonały, w ich przypadku się sprawdził. Autorka opisuje politykę migracyjną i integracyjną Szwecji, etapy i formy instytucjonalizacji w tym kraju, historię wspólnoty asyryjsko-aramejskiej na Bliskim Wschodzie, dynamikę wewnętrzną tej grupy i jej relacje z otoczeniem oraz powiązania transnarodowe. W monografii został poruszony niezwykle aktualny temat, jakim jest akulturacja osób z Bliskiego Wschodu w Europie. Podjęto go jednak z nowej na gruncie polskim perspektywy - ukazując, jak z integracją radzą sobie bliskowschodni chrześcijanie."-- Provided by publisher.

The author presents a historical approach to the issue of the Polish national revival in the contemporary Vilnius region in the late 1980s and early 1990s, paying particular attention to the efforts aimed at establishing an autonomous Polish-speaking administrative unit within Lithuania. The theme of nationality policy in the countries of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is continually returning in the international public sphere. For political reasons, the events described in the book have historically been controversial and continue to affect bilateral relations between Poland and Lithuania; their origin is therefore well worth learning about.
