Punkty, czyli złuda modernizacji
Points, or the Illusion of Modernization

Summary/Abstract: The author’s remarks on Agata Zysiak’s book Punkty za pochodzenie. Powojenna modernizacja i uniwersytet w robotniczym mieście [Points for Class Origin: Post-War Modernization and the University in a Working-Class City] (2016) primarily concern the question of social advance through education and Zysiak’s outline of this process in Poland after the Second World War. As a participant of that process—first as a student, and later as a teacher—the author suggests that it should be viewed from the perspective of historical sociology.
