Abstract

V originále

Since the nineties the Czech Republic has been a part of a newly emerging Central European migration space attracting migrants from certain geographical regions, mainly from countries of the former Soviet Union. In the process of socio-cultural inclusion those migrants face a stigma of „migrants from the East“ as well as „Russian-speaking people“ who are, due to certain historical events, still often perceived as oppressors and invaders. In this study, I focus on the inclusion and exclusion of migrants from post-Soviet countries in the Czech Republic both at the level of behavioral participation and at the level of socio-cultural belonging in a transnational perspective. Using biographical approach to migration research, I explore how the migrants' feelings of belonging are challenged, contested and transformed in the process of migration and how the influence of particular socio-cultural context both in the Czech Republic and their country of origin on this transformation is reflected in their life-story narratives.
