The Politics of Nationalism in the Polish-German Borderland.

Summary/Abstract: The review discusses the book by John D. Kulczycki on the politics of national homogenization in the Third Reich and in post-war Poland in the Polish-German borderlands. Kulczycki’s book presents a comprehensive and well-structured analysis of the nationalising policies in the entire Polish-German borderland. Referring to the rich literature and primary sources, the author examines the main tenets of the Third Reich and Poland’s post-war politics, their local implementation and the similarities and differences between policies in various regions. It is argued that is a very successful and valuable synthesis. The great merit of the book is that it is based on clear and solid theoretical premises.
