This book presents 19 narrations of authors about their own experiences as migrants.

These creative works are Set in various cultural contexts such as for example Germany, Australia, South Africa, America, India or Hungary and describe how life experiences in different countries contribute to and influence the development of transcultural identities. This book is a must for readers interested in transcultural stories, creative writing and identity development in cultural and transcultural contexts.

Blandine Bizy was born in 1956 into a French-Polish family and spent her childhood between Burgundy and northern France where the Polish community had clustered. These stays in Mazingarbe (département du Nord) were like a trip to the Polish traditions deeply rooted in this region of France where Polish immigrants used to work in the coal mining industry. At present, Blandine Bizy is a medical assistant in Paris.
