The Image of the Jew in Polish Folk Culture
The subject in the title of this book has not been taken up too often. Polish historiography and ethnography have avoided delving into the problems of Polish-Jewish relations, probably because it was (and still is) an emotional subject, painful for some and irritating to others. The last half-century has not afforded many opportunities for a dispassionate exchange of opinions as the last war brought about the extermination of the Polish Jews and put an end to the discussion once and for all. The history of the towns and economy of Poland cannot be written without discussing the activities of Jews. Closely connected with this problem is the question of the Jews place in the social hierarchy and consequently -- mutual attitudes. This study is an attempt to present the picture of intergroup contacts as it has been preserved in peoples memory. It is also an effort to reconstruct the model of behaviours towards a community seen as alien.
Evoking Polish Memory
The book presents an ethnographic study of ways in which communism is remembered in contemporary Poland. It follows two groups of people engaged in memory politics in one Polish town - the former anti-communist activists and the former officers of the repressive regime. It shows the processes of reconstruction of their memories and subjectivities.
