Polish Ummah? The Actions Taken by Muslim Migrants to Set up Their World in Poland
Journal Title: Central and Eastern European Migration Review - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
This report discusses the ways in which Muslim communities form in Poland, with particular emphasis on the role of migrant men and women from Muslim countries, broken down into activities carried out mainly by women and mainly by men. The division of activities sometimes goes beyond the patterns of Muslim communities in other countries. The specificity of the Muslim community in Poland is related to: the historical context of the origins of its creation, i.e. the presence of Polish Tatars, a small number of Muslims living in Poland, and their diversity in terms of countries of origin.
