This book demonstrates diverse ways of looking at internal migrations and points to their fairly unexplored aspects. The book will not only be a source of knowledge on population movements in Poland but also an inspiration to the readers for their own studies and reflections.

The aim of this book is to highlight the issue of internal migrations and emphasise the need to conduct research on their course and consequences, including those stemming from historical processes. The complexity of this topic is illustrated by the fact that the chapters contained in the book have been written by representatives of different disciplines: sociology, psychology, geography and economics, which may suggest the need for interdisciplinary research to be conducted in the future.
