This paper will analyse the identity construction processes of the migrants’
communities in the context of the European Union. Based on the fieldwork developed with the
Bulgarian community settled in Castile and Leon (Spain), this article will explore the strategies
of identity management in order to succeed in the integration process. First of all, we will
take into account the local strategies of community development consisted on the promotion
of associations. Secondly, we will analyse the way the local population reassume the global
discourses of Interculturalism promoted by the European Union. Thirdly, we will consider how
far these facts affect the migrants’ communities. Bulgarian community developed a wise identity
management strategy that enables them to be integrated in the local society without losing their
own traditions.
