'...an essential starting point for individuals interested in any type of migration into and out of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, [and] their relationships with their immediate neighbours, especially Austria, Germany and the Ukraine. The particular strengths of this volume lie in the tightness of its structure, the way it holds together as an edited book and the wealth of factual information it provides.' - Panikos Panayi, Immigrants and Minorities
