Opis

In contrast with narratives concerning expellees in Germany or pioneers of the ‘Recovered Territories’ in Poland, this monograph tells the story of the disintegration of a previous cultural landscape and the establishment of one which was new, in a colourful and vivid manner and encompassing different points of view.

Recenzje

"It is marvelous that Halicka’s rich source base is finally accessible to English-language specialists and classrooms, for it conveys many complexities of the grass roots human experience of forced migration." - Andrew Demshuk, American University
