Abstract
<jats:p>The book What I take on my journey and who I meet on it. Theory and Practice of Contemporary Migration is a follow-up to Interculturality and National Minorities in Theory and Practice. (2019). It deals with the phenomenon of contemporary migration to the Czech Republic with a focus on the experience of the journey. In a unique way, it combines a typological perspective – migration caused by war and totalitarianism, a historical perspective – the history of Ukrainian migration, a psychological perspective – acculturation stress, and an imagological perspective – mechanisms shaping the view of the „other“ and the self. In addition to the theoretical background, the authors present personal biographical interviews in order to cover different types of migration, a wider national and age spectrum. They draw on the methods of ego-history. The work is timely in time, touching on events after 2022. The narrators still have their journey in vivid memory with emotional charge, but at the same time they have processed and sorted their experience in some way. The accounts are conclusive with a general overlap. The book is modern in methodology. It didacticises a specific topic through activating and complex methods with elements of experiential pedagogy. The book helps to understan historical and contemporary migration processes.</jats:p>
