Co mnie tak dzier-zy przi Tobie, Orawo? Życie kulturalne Polonii orawskiej w Chicago
Pan Marek Liszka jest sam orawskim patriotą, to w pracy widać. Miał niezwykłą szansę osobiście obserwować życie codzienne emigrantów z Orawy w Chicago. Akceptowany jako obserwator i młody badacz (nie waham się tego słowa użyć) uzyskał dostęp do osobowych i niezwykle bogatych, dotąd niewykorzystywanych materiałów. To podstawowa zaleta jego oryginalnej pracy. Powstała zatem praca źródłowo niebanalna. Charakterystyka Orawy i krótki rys historii emigracji z Orawy do Chicago to pierwszy rozdział. Kolejne mówią o działalności Klubu Babia Góra, koła nr 48 przy Związku Podhalan w Ameryce. Rozdział trzeci o aktywności muzycznej (kapeli „Orawa”, zespole tanecznym...

Voicing Memories, Unearthing Identities: Studies in the Twenty-First-Century Literatures of Eastern and East-Central Europe
In the region known as Eastern and East-Central Europe, the framework provided by memory studies became highly valuable for understanding the overload of interpretations and conflicting perspectives on events during the twentieth century. The trauma of two world wars, the development of collective consciousness according to national and ethnic categories, stories of the trampled lands and lives of people, and resistance to the rule of authoritarian and totalitarian terrors—these trajectories left complex layers of identities to unfold. The following volume addresses the issue of identity as a pivot in studies of memory and literature. In this context, it addresses the question of cultural negotiation as it took shape between memory and literature, history and literature, and memory and history, with the help of contemporary authors and their works. The authors take the literature of countries such as Estonia, Poland, Serbia, Ukraine, and Russia as the point of departure, and explain its significance in terms of geographical, theoretical, and thematic perspectives.
