We are delighted to announce the publication of two new books in the Regions and Cities book series:
Migration and Race: Central and Eastern European Perspectives, edited by Kasia Narkowicz, Anna Gawlewicz & Konrad Pędziwiatr (published 17 January 2025).
The book includes chapters on Bulgarians, Lithuanians, Romanians, Hungarians, Czechs, Ukrainians and Poles, including Polish Roma, in Western Europe and CEE as well as non-CEE migrants at the Polish-Belarus border. The book showcases different aspects of racialisation processes and how they intersect with class and gender, among others, in the context of CEE migrations. The book is aimed at an international audience of researchers, scholars and students, policy analysts, third sector specialists and those concerned with decolonial perspectives, migration, and race and racialisation in the context of Central and Eastern Europe countries.
Spatial Justice and Cohesion: The Role of Place-Based Action in Community Development, edited by Matti Fritsch, Petri Kahila, Sarolta Németh & James W. Scott. (Published 30 January 2025)
This book explores the potential contribution of place-based initiative to more balanced and equitable socio-economic development, as well as growth in a more general sense. The overall architecture of the book and the individual chapters address place-based perspectives from a number of vantage points. This book targets researchers, practitioners and students who seek to learn more about place-based based development and its potentials. Its cross-cutting focus on spatial justice and place will ensure that the book is of wider international interest.
This book is published Open Access, meaning the digital edition is free to read here. Print copies can be purchased by those who prefer to read a physical copy.
