In this talk, Dr Dominika Blachnicka-Ciacek and Dr Sylwia Urbańska will develop the concept of peripheral Whiteness in the context of Eastern Europeans, arguing that their position is characterized by conditional access to the privileges associated with Whiteness. Focusing on the example of Polish migrants in Western European labour markets and Polish returnees at Poland’s eastern borders, the talk will demonstrate how processes of racialization are deeply intertwined with dimensions of class and gender.
