by Piotr Andrzejewski

~~60,95€~~ 54,86€ 10% OFF

The author firmly places the Austrian case in necessary theoretical framework. The book focuses on nation building policies conducted by the Second Austrian Republic and the changing ways in which the Austrian nation was perceived (a cultural or political nation?). The main focus of the author is the ideological background provided historians in the aforementioned nation-building process. The book also delves in the politics of affirmation and opposition to the new Austrian national identity.

Fear Management - Foreign Threats In The Post-War Polish Propaganda. The Influence And The Reception Of The Communist Media (1944-1956)

by Bruno Kamiski

60,95€ + 10% CARD

 The so-called people's power the communists tended to make Poles afraid. At first afraid of the Anglo-Saxon imperialists, then of the German revisionists, Zionist 5th column and Kuro and Michnik walking on the CIAs leash. The creation of the atmosphere of fear featuring Germans and their alleged return lasted until 1970. In his Fear Management Bruno Kamiski reaches to the origins of this story. Based on a huge selection of sources this analytical study exhibits how in the first 15 postwar years Poles were threatened with the Western world. In the beginning, the Germans were chosen to play the role of the main enemy, dethroned later by the Americans. At the same time, the author proves that fear next to nationalism and ethnic hostility developed into one of the pillars legitimizing the communist system.

Les Exilés Polonais En France Et La Réorganisation Pacifique De L'Europe (19401989)

76,72€ + 10% CARD

 Cet ouvrage est une tentative de croiser les regards de chercheurs français et polonais sur la façon dont des membres de la diaspora polonaise en France activistes politiques et syndicaux de toute obédience, intellectuels, hommes et femmes de lettres en exil envisageaient, dans les années 19401989, la problématique européenne. Quelle place réservaient-ils à l'Europe centrale et médiane dans la future Europe unie qu'ils appelaient de leur v½ux ? Par quels moyens cherchaient-ils à peser sur la politique des instances et des gouvernements occidentaux, à instaurer des liens privilégiés avec les sociétés derrière le rideau de fer ? Loin de se limiter à des questions à caractère purement politique, l'ouvrage tente de mesurer l'apport des exilés polonais à la pensée européenne.
