About Cultural Wars Against Poland Cyfres Lyfrau

Mae Rhyfeloedd Diwylliannol yn Erbyn Gwlad Pwyl yn gyfres o lyfrau hanesyddol gwyddoniaeth boblogaidd a gyhoeddwyd gan Ganolfan Genedlaethol Diwylliant yng Ngwlad Pwyl. Mae'r gyfres yn cwmpasu'r cyfnod o ddiwedd yr 17eg ganrif hyd hanner cyntaf yr 20fed ganrif. Mae papur clawr garw iawn yn cryfhau'r neges o ryfel, garwedd a dinistr. Ffurfir motiff tudalen wedi'i rwygo ar y cloriau trwy stampio dall. Argraffir y tu mewn mewn dau liw, du a choch dwys, gyda'r acenion coch yn cyfeirio at liwiau baner Gwlad Pwyl. Mae rhwymiad Otabind yn caniatáu i bob cyfrol agor yn wastad ar gyfer darllen haws.

The publication is devoted to deliberate diffusion measures against Poland carried out by neighboring countries. The series covers the period from the end of the 17th century to the first half of the 20th century. The issues discussed in the following volumes make it possible to see the continuity of the anti-Polish narrative and show how the distribution of anti-Polish accents changed depending on the current goals of the partitioning powers.
