Common Culture and the Ideology of Difference in Medieval and Contemporary Poland
Teresa Pac provides a much-needed contribution to the discussion on shared culture as foundational to societal survival. Through the examination of common culture as a process in medieval Kraków, Poznań, and Lublin, Pac challenges the ideology of difference—institutional, religious, ethnic, and nationalistic. Similarly, Pac maintains, twenty-first century Polish leaders utilize anachronistic approaches in the invention of Polish Catholic identity to counteract the country’s increasing ethnic and religious diversity. As in the medieval period, contemporary Polish political and social elites subscribe to the European Union’s ideology of difference, legitimized by a European Christian heritage, and its intended basis for discrimination against non-Christians and non-white individuals under the auspices of democratic values and minority rights, among which Muslims are a significant target.
Urban Communities and Memories in East-Central Europe in the Modern Age
This edited volume studies the logic of community formation and the common view of the past to show how various social bonds of communities functioned during the modern national era of East-Central Europe from the late eighteenth century until today and how multifaceted this group-building really was.

OD ZGONU OJCA NARODÓW DO ŚMIERCI ORŁA KARPAT
Różne są sposoby pisania i rozumienia historii XX wieku. W tej książce dostrzec można dwa punkty ciężkości: miejsce Polski w kontekście środkowoeuropejskim i „odpamiętywanie” naszej przeszłości jako spuścizny po II wojnie światowej i PRL. Kraj między Rosją a Niemcami nie powinien odwracać się od historii. Międzynarodowe grono autorów, korzystając ze źródeł w kilkunastu językach, stara się złożyć elementy mozaiki, z których wyłania się pewien obraz pamięci.
