Research Abstract

The aim of this research was to understand the relationship between East European migrant workers, who have moved into the English countryside since the 2004 EU eastern enlargement, and an indigenous English community through anthropological fieldwork conducted in Herefordshire in England. The research reveals a process that middle-class in-migrated English residents in the area took leadership to form a residents’ group to deal with the social tension caused by the mass-influx of the foreign population. They have been actively involved with the migrants, and they succeeded both in improving their working and living conditions and in bridging the local community and the migrants. The research also grasped the ongoing process of migrants’ mobile life strategies.
