Exploring the recurring figures of Eastern Europeans as a new reservoir of cheap labour, the author engages with a wide range of both mainstream and neglected authors, films, and programmes, including Rose Tremain, John Lanchester, Marina Lewycka, Polly Courtney, Dubravka Ugre?i?, Kapka Kassabova, Kwame Kwei-Armah, Mike Phillips, It?s a Free World, Gypo, Britain?s Hardest Workers, The Poles are Coming, and Czech Dream. Analyzing the treatment of Eastern Europeans as builders, fruit pickers, nannies, and victims of sex trafficking, and ways of resisting the stereotypes, this is an important intervention into debates about Europe, migration, and postcommunist transition to capitalism, as represented in multiple contemporary cultural texts. 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aMotion pictures?History 606 $aRussia?History 606 $aEurope, Eastern?History 606 $aLiteratura europea$2thub 606 $aLiteratura contemporània$2thub 606 $aCultura$2thub 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aEuropean Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/832000 606 $aFilm History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413070 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717090 607 $aEuropa de l'Est$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aMotion pictures?History. 615 0$aRussia?History. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern?History. 615 7$aLiteratura europea 615 7$aLiteratura contemporània 615 7$aCultura 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aFilm History. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 676 $a808.803552 700 $aVeli?kovi?$b Vedrana$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01224453 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484449903321 996 $aEastern Europeans in Contemporary Literature and Culture$92842190 997 $aUNINA
