Z innej perspektywy. Anglicy w oczach polskich „kolonizatorów” (na przykładzie „Angoli” Ewy Winnickiej)
A different perspective. The English in the eyes of Polish ‘colonizers’ (‘Angole’ by Ewa Winnicka)

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the volume of reports by Ewa Winnicka. The author of the article examines the contact between two different (Polish and British) cultures, both deeply rooted in different traditions and entangled by evident stereotypes. The reason for such cultural interference is, that Polish emigration to Great Britain is facetiously described by the author as ‘the invasion of the colonizers’. Winnicka’s narrative strategy enables readers to observe local inhabitants as well as Polish migrants who have different experiences and attitudes. This ‘unsymmetrical dialogue’ reveals that, a ‘colonizer’ as a stranger must always lose, because he exists in between his native community (that he does not belong to anymore) and the new one (that he aspires to, trying to prove that he is worth being accepted).
