Summary/Abstract: In the last two decades we have seen important changes in the area of ethnic relations in Poland. Generally speaking, ethnic minorities are becoming more active and better organized actors in the public scene. Their members more openly communicate the needs of the groups, and their goals and visions of the world. To analyse those processes I have decided to apply the concept of identity politics. For that reason I reconstruct the ‘logic’ of these kinds of activities, focusing on different aspects, perspectives and consequences of this phenomenon. To illustrate my analysis empirically I have taken the example of the Kashubian community.
