About Cultural Wars Against Poland Bogserie

Cultural Wars Against Poland er en populærvidenskabelig historisk bogserie udgivet af det nationale kulturcenter i Polen. Serien dækker perioden fra slutningen af det 17. århundrede til første halvdel af det 20. århundrede. Et meget groft omslagspapir forstærker budskabet om krig, råhed og ødelæggelse. Et motiv med en revet side på omslagene er dannet ved blindprægning. Det indre er trykt i to farver, sort og intens rød, hvor de røde accenter refererer til farverne i det polske flag. Otabind-indbinding lader hvert bind åbne fladt for lettere læsning.

The printing color of the inside of the books is two-tone - black and intense red. Red accents refer to Polishness.

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.
