Anti-Jewish Violence in Poland, 1914-1920
The first scholarly account of massive and fateful pogrom waves, interpreted through the lens of folk culture and social psychology.
Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment
This book charts the new phase of global struggles around gender equality and sexual democracy: the ultraconservative mobilization against "gender ideology" and feminist efforts to counteract it. It argues that anti-gender campaigns, which emerged around 2010 in Europe, are not a simple continuation of the anti-feminist backlash dating back to the 1970s, but part of a new political configuration. Opposition to "gender" has become a key element of the rise of right-wing populism, which successfully harnesses the anxiety, shame and anger caused by neoliberalism and threatens to destroy liberal democracy. Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment offers a novel conceptualization of the relati...
Lutoslawski on Music
The writings of twentieth-century Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski reveal many important aspects of his approach to music and his viewpoints as an artist and as a man. In Lutoslawski on Music, the first full collection of writings by this famous composer, Zbigniew Skowron has amassed an exciting assortment of essays, speeches, lectures, and articles, many of which are newly translated in English and previously unpublished. After an introductory autobiography, the writings, grouped in five parts, illustrate various aspects of the composer's creativity, and discuss musical form, compositional technique, and perception. Lutoslawski examines his own works as well as those of other composers, a...
Music in Literature
This book represents an attempt to capture links between music and literature in the light of recent proposals from theorists of intertextuality and comparative literature, and at the same time an attempt to diagnose the current state of comparative literature as a field of literary research. Particular attention is devoted to realisations by Bernard Heidsieck, Miron Bialoszewski, Kornel Ujejski, Stanislaw Barańczak, Boguslaw Schaeffer and Michel Butor.
Nation and History
The important scholarly achievements of Polish historians remain largely unknown outside Poland. In Nation and History, editors Peter Brock, John Stanley, and Piotr J. Wróbel have brought together twenty-four essays on Polish historians from the Enlightenment to the Second World War, an era of unparalleled changes in every aspect of Polish life. From the late eighteenth century until 1918, the Polish state was partitioned between its three neighbours: Russia, Prussia (Germany), and Austria. Polish historiography throughout this period tended to focus on the reasons behind the old Polish state's decline and fall. This shaped Polish historians' vision of their country's past and created the burden of not only having to discuss the state, but the issue of 'nation' – its essence, its shape, and its failure. The contributors to this volume – from Poland and abroad – closely examine the role played by historians in both the documenting and shaping of Poland's history. While featuring different approaches, Nation and History serves as the most comprehensive work on Polish historiography written in English.
Red Shadow
On July 6, 1944, the Soviet army drove the German occupying forces from the small town of Szczebrzeszyn in eastern Poland. Sadly, it soon became clear that this "liberation" was simply the beginning of a new occupation. As the Polish people struggled against the Soviets, Dr. Zygmunt Klukowski, superintendent of the county hospital in Szczebrzeszyn, was in the thick of the action, meeting with partisan fighters and helping to plot and record their activities. All the while, he kept a meticulous secret diary of life under the Soviet occupation, which for him included two prison terms for "crimes against the people." Many of his friends died, and his own son Tadeusz was executed for antigovernment activities. Dr. Klukowski's diary - located in 1991 after an extensive search and translated by his son George and grandson Andrew - is a vivid recounting of the Polish resistance, marked by tragedy, triumph, and the strong will of the people in the face of brutal occupation.
Sketches from a Secret War
The forgotten protagonist of this true account aspired to be a cubist painter in his native Kyïv. In a Europe remade by the First World War, his talents led him to different roles—intelligence operative, powerful statesman, underground activist, lifelong conspirator. Henryk Józewski directed Polish intelligence in Ukraine, governed the borderland region of Volhynia in the interwar years, worked in the anti-Nazi and anti-Soviet underground during the Second World War, and conspired against Poland’s Stalinists until his arrest in 1953. His personal story, important in its own right, sheds new light on the foundations of Soviet power and on the ideals of those who resisted it. By following the arc of Józewski’s life, this book demonstrates that his tolerant policies toward Ukrainians in Volhynia were part of Poland’s plans to roll back the communist threat. The book mines archival materials, many available only since the fall of communism, to rescue Józewski, his Polish milieu, and his Ukrainian dream from oblivion. An epilogue connects his legacy to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the democratic revolution in Ukraine in 2004.
