Polish Liberal Thought Before 1918
Based on solid research, this erudite study is a first attempt at presenting a comprehensive analysis of nineteenth-century Polish liberalism. Polish liberal tradition has generally been considered weak or even nonexistent. Janowski, on the other hand, argues that nineteenth-century Poland inherited a strong protoliberal tradition from the nobility-based democracy, and that in the mid-nineteenth century, liberalism was a dominant trend in Polish intellectual life, even if it rarely appeared in its pure form and did not create political movements separating liberal aims from patriotic ones.
Oil Empire
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Austrian Empire ranked third among the world's oil-producing states (surpassed only by the United States and Russia), and accounted for five percent of global oil production. By 1918, the Central Powers did not have enough oil to maintain a modern military. How and why did the promise of oil fail Galicia (the province producing the oil) and the Empire? In a brilliantly conceived work, Alison Frank traces the interaction of technology, nationalist rhetoric, social tensions, provincial politics, and entrepreneurial vision in shaping the Galician oil industry. She portrays this often overlooked oil boom's transformation of the environment, and its ...
Antisemitism in Galicia
In the last third of the nineteenth century, the discourse on the “Jewish question” in the Habsburg crownlands of Galicia changed fundamentally, as clerical and populist politicians emerged to denounce the Jewish assimilation and citizenship. This pioneering study investigates the interaction of agitation, violence, and politics against Jews on the periphery of the Danube monarchy. In its comprehensive analysis of the functions and limitations of propaganda, rumors, and mass media, it shows just how significant antisemitism was to the politics of coexistence among Christians and Jews on the eve of the Great War.
Shatterzone of Empires
From the Baltic to the Black Sea, four major empires with ethnically and religiously diverse populations encountered each other along often changing and contested borders. Examining this geographically vast, multicultural region through a variety of methodological lenses, this volume offers informed and dispassionate analyses of how the many populations of these borderlands managed to coexist in a previous era and why the areas eventually descended into violence. An understanding of this region will help readers grasp the preconditions of interethnic coexistence and the causes of ethnic violence and war in many of the world's other borderlands both past and present.

Der Raum und seine Texte
Nicht nur die Literatur bringt Räume hervor, auch Räume können über Jahrhunderte hinweg neue literarische Narrative erzeugen. In Konzeptualisierungen der Hucul'sčyna in der polnischen, ukrainischen und österreichischen Literatur des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts - als Heimat der Edlen Wilden, Schmiede von Nationalhelden, verlorenes Paradies, Nabel der Welt, neues Hellas, Ursprung des Erzählens - spielen die Elemente der kulturellen Energie der Ostkarpaten (Beschaffenheit der Landschaft, Verbundenheit zwischen Mensch und Natur, religiöser Synkretismus, Topoi der oralen Tradition, Mehrsprachigkeit und materielle Kultur) eine zentrale Rolle. Unter Einbezug der Diskussionen um den spatial turn, die Mitteleuropa-Debatte sowie die Regionalisierungsprozesse im heutigen Europa werden zahlreiche literarische Texte analysiert.
Izraelita (1866-1915)
Monografia polsko-żydowskiego tygodnika „Izraelita” ma walor pracy pionierskiej, ważnej dla ogólnego obrazu polskiej i żydowskiej kultury oraz społeczeństwa w pięciu postyczniowych, popowstaniowych dekadach. W dotychczasowych badaniach, zarówno krajowych, jak i zagranicznych, „Izraelita” stanowił bowiem wyłącznie źródło wykorzystywane w studiach nad politycznymi, społecznymi i kulturalnymi dziejami społeczności żydowskiej w Królestwie. Książka Zuzanny Kołodziejskiej przynosi natomiast pierwszy całościowy i wielostronny opis tygodnika, koryguje utrzymujące się długo i uporczywie błędne opinie oraz ustala dotyczące go podstawowe fakty – w tym tak rudymen...
