Increasing and changing migration trends between Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Western European locations, as well as those from outside of Europe to CEE, pose new challenges for the regional study of race and racialisation, including growing diversity and the tightening of border security. This book brings together a range of established and emerging scholars of CEE migration, race, whiteness and post- and decoloniality to explore these themes from/to and within Central and Eastern Europe.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 approach of this book is anti-racist and decolonial, in the sense that it builds on decolonial scholarship from and on the region and pushes against discourses of CEE as ‘lagging behind’ and ‘catching up’ that have dominated the scholarship so far. The decolonial perspective on these issues will contribute to urgent critical debates by providing in-depth cross-country insights beyond theoretical argumentation to a renewed global public debate on issues of race and migration.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.Chapter 3 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

“Migration and Race: Central and Eastern European Perspectives is an important contribution to the historical entanglements of Central and East Europe in the global colonial expansion and the way those legacies have come to shape ongoing bordering, migration and racialization processes in the region. Being a result of collective thinking and writing through the solidarity network Postdependence Geographies in Central and Eastern Europe, the book is essential reading for those interested in epistemic shifts and pluriversal approaches to the geopolitics of former Central and Eastern Europe with empirical insights on anti-racism and migration in the region.” — Piro Rexhepi, UCL, London, UK"Dealing with semiperipheral locations such as Europe’s East requires difficult balancing acts: naming the region without reifying it, deconstructing longstanding tropes without claiming to decolonize the knowledge that produced them, addressing the researchers’ positionality even as it shifts for those migrating and for those staying put. This much-needed volume walks this tightrope skillfully by showcasing patterns of migration and racialization in a part of Europe little associated with either." — Manuela Boatcă, University of Freiburg, Germany
