Abstract

This paper addresses Polish mothers’ insights into their relationship between their home and the culture of their neighbourhoods. Based on thirty-five in-depth interviews conducted in London, I described processes, both social and emotional, accompanying the mothers’ engagement with the practices of transcultural citizenship. The paper examines the ways in which the mothers theorize their, often racialized, working-class localities through their “Polish” and “class” lens, mark their cultural and social belonging, and ultimately internalize and accommodate these new settings (neighbourhoods and schooling). Adaptation mechanisms as well as emotional costs and identity re-enactments, which are associated with accommodation and creation of new values and practices, are also brought to light. I argue that (1) performance of transcultural citizenship moves the concept towards the notion of ordinary everyday engagements with the local community and belonging and (2) hybridization of identities is a prominent result of such engagements.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
