| Summary: | In spite of numerous studies exploring the attitudes of Polish society towards followers of Islam including Arabs
or studies showing how Polish media shapes the image of Muslims and Islam, there are hardly any analyses
assessing how these attitudes and images are perceived by the minority group. The purpose of this text is to
fill this gap and analyse the perception of transformation of attitudes in contemporary Polish society towards
Arabs from the perspective of members of the Arab and Muslim communities. The article’s analytical framework
builds upon the conceptions problematizing a group sense of alienation and familiarity in the context of
human mobility and immobility. In particular, the text shows the usefulness of the concept of otherness and
strangeness developed by Ewa Nowicka in the late 1990s for the analysis of the transformation of attitudes
towards Arabs and Muslims in Polish society in the last two decades. |
