Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Volume 4: Poles and Jews: Perceptions and Misperceptions by Władysław T. Bartoszewski
Requirements: .PDF reader, 9.7Mb
Overview: The theme of this rich and highly focused volume is Polish perceptions of Jews and Jewish perceptions of Poles from the Middle Ages to the present. Essays by Leszek Kolakowski and Wladyslaw Bartoszewski set the parameters of the debate. Contributors analyse sources ranging from Yiddish folk-songs to Hebrew, Yiddish, and Polish literature to Polish plays, and the discussions range over the entire period. Norman Davies writes on ethnic diversity in twentieth-century Poland, and other essays deal with related political aspects. There is also an important exchange between Stanislaus Blejwas and Shmuel Krakowski entitled ‘Polemic as History’.
Polin’ is a leading forum for authoritative historical and cultural material on Polish and East European Jewry. Each volume contains articles representing original research, often including previously unpublished documents. Each issue also features an extensive review essay section and a forum
for the exchange of ideas and views between authors. ‘Polin’ should be useful reading not only for all those working in Jewish Studies, but also for those involved in Slavonic and East European studies.
