„Ludzka twarz” górnośląskich robotników w okresie międzywojennym [Rec. Dariusz Zalega: „Śląsk zbuntowany”. Wołowiec 2019]
The “human face” of the Upper-Silesian blue-collar workers in the interwar period

[Rev. Dariusz Zalega: „Śląsk zbuntowany”]

Summary/Abstract: The book Śląsk zbuntowany (‛The rebellious Silesia’) by Dariusz Zalega proposes a new way of writing about the workers’ movement, which is both approachable and devoid of anticommunist sentiment. The author takes the readers on a journey with blue-collar workers originating from Upper Silesia — volunteers forming the International Brigades, participating in the Spanish Civil War of the years 1936—1939 on the side of the Popular Front. Apart from the description of the fighting itself, a lot of space in the book was devoted to circumstances leading the protagonist to Spain. A brief outline of fates of those who managed to survive the clashes with General Francisco Franco’s army is also presented.
