Transit Communities and Impact of Migration

More about the book

The study delves into the complex dynamics between war refugees and local residents along the Hungarian-Serbian border from 2017 to 2020. Through over fifty interviews, it reveals the nuanced realities faced by communities and officials, contrasting their experiences with the often-negative portrayal of Hungarians in media. While the Hungarian government has been criticized for its anti-migrant stance, the book highlights the varied perspectives among border police and local organizations, addressing their security concerns and the impact of the refugee crisis on their lives and livelihoods.
