Eine kleine Murzynek B. – Artur Daniel Liskowacki as a postcolonial writer

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the work of the Szczecin writer, Artur Daniel Liskowacki, in a postcolonial perspective. This author became famous for his novel Eine kleine, but he has published several books on the issues of German cultural memory in Polish Szczecin, or more broadly – in the former German lands. A different subject is characteristic of his novel Murzynek B., which describes the issues of exoticism, racial and ethnic stereotypes, especially related to the figure of a black person (Negro) in Polish culture. These so different works, however, are linked by the perspective of the reflection on the Stranger/Other, xenophobia and the construction of Polish identity constituted in the face of dissimilarity. Therefore, Liskowacki’s work was presented as postcolonial writing – aestheticizing the key issue of critical reflection on colonial relations, in the broad sense of the term.
