Abstrakt: | In this short study I intend to discuss the problem of ethnic groups in post-war Poland. The question concerning social position of these groups and the chances to keep up their distinct features in confrontation with the
domineering culture are for me the most interesting issues. The ethnicity and cultural identity problems have recently been the subject of study of many branches’ specialists in Poland. Sociologists, historians,
politologists, ethnologists and linguists simultaneously find these problems interesting. No doubt, the popularity revival is the effect of socio-political processes in Central and Eastern Europe. They result, as we observe, in
growing importance of national ideas’ meaning among small ethnic communities, the increase of religion’s role in defining distinct ethnic features, the intensification of religious-national problems in the borderland. (fragment tekstu) |
