Introduction: Social remittances and "hand-made" change by migrants -- Chapter 1. Process of transfer of social remittances in the European Union -- Chapter 2. Transnational multisited qualitative longitudinal research in investigating social remittances and change -- Chapter 3. Researched communities in Poland and in the UK: Transnational spaces of diffusion and social remittances -- Chapter 4. Observing, acquiring, resisting: Migrants' agency in the web of social remittances -- Chapter 5. Collective outcomes of social remittances- reactions of local communities: Acceptance and Resistance -- Chapter 6. Migrants as agents of micro social changes -- Conclusions.

'An important contribution to debates about migration and social change. Based on interdisciplinary, longitudinal research on migration between three Polish communities and the United Kingdom in post-accession Europe, Grabowska and her colleagues carefully unpack how social remittance transfers actually work. In a world in which sending governments look increasingly to emigrants' economic and social contributions, this book is an invaluable guide to how and when innovation, or resistance to it, occur.' - Peggy Levitt, Wellesley College and Harvard University, USA This book offers a unique and innovative way of looking at the paradoxical consequences of human mobility. Based on a three-year transnational multi-sited longitudinal research project, it demonstrates that not all migrants acquire, transfer and implement social remittances in the same way. Whilst the circulation of ideas, norms and practices is an important aspect of modernity, acts of resistance, imitation and innovation mean that whilst some migrants become ordinary agents of social change in their local microcosms, others may contest that change. By putting this individual agency centre stage, the authors trace how social remittances are evolving, and the ambiguous impact that they have on society. This thought-provoking work will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, geography and anthropology.
