Jews in Kraków’s self-government. On Hanna Kozińska-Witt’s Politycy czy klakierzy? Żydzi w krakowskiej radzie miejskiej w XIX wieku, Kraków, 2019

Summary/Abstract: The article present reflections on the book Politycy czy klakierzy? Żydzi w krakowskiej radzie miejskiej w XIX wieku (Kraków, 2019) by Hanna Kozińska-Witt. The author of the publication sought to verify the thesis according to which the activity of Jewish councillors in Kraków was not proportionate to their number. For this purpose, she used the theory of arenas developed by Dietlind Hüchtker. The book consist of introduction, four chapters, and an excursus. Hanna Kozińska-Witt’s book is a valuable source of information. In comparison to earlier publications on the participation of Jews in Kraków’s municipal council, it tackles a broader set of issues and offers fresh research outcomes. However, the construction and overall methodological aspect of the book is lacking.
