Migrants in Post-Socialist Britain

Join us for the first in our webinar series 'Post-Socialism, Migration and Memory in Britain and Beyond'.

What happens to memories of state-socialism and of post-communist transition when its carriers move across borders? How do individuals and communities grapple with the legacies of regimes in host societies with different kinds of legacies?
