Aktywność kulturowa Kaszubów na ziemi bytowskiej. Doświadczenia przeszłości i stan współczesny
Cultural activity of the Kashubians in Bytów land. The experiences of the pas and the contemporary situation

Summary/Abstract: The article indicates the main signs of cultural activity of the Kashubian populace in Bytów land from its beginnings in the Reformation period to contemporary times. It points out the first initiatives in the modern period and in the 19th century, although it focuses on the period following the cultural awakening of the Kashubians at the turn of the 19th century. In the interwar period, the main factors for culture creation were Polish schools and the activity of the Union of Poles in Germany. Their legacy has in great part become the basis for the development of the Kashubian movement after the Second World War, especially in the second half of the 1940s and after October 1956. The true renaissance of the Kashubian cultural activity occurred after the 1989 breakthrough and stems from both the favour of the state and local governments and the activity of the local environment.
