About Cultural Wars Against Poland Raupapa Pukapuka

Ko Cultural Wars Against Poland he raupapa pukapuka pūtaiao rongonui mō te hītori i whakaputaina e te Pokapū ā-Motu mō te Ahurea i Pōrana. E kapi ana te raupapa i te wā mai i te mutunga o te rautau 17 ki te haurua tuatahi o te rautau 20. Ka whakakaha ake tētahi pepa uhi tino tōraparapa i te karere o te pakanga, o te tōraparapa me te whakangaromanga. Ka hangaia tētahi tauira wharangi haehae ki runga i ngā uhi mā te tāpae matapō. Ka tāia te roto ki ngā tae e rua, te pango me te whero pukumahi, ā, ka tohu ngā tā whero ki ngā tae o te haki o Pōrana. Ka taea e te here Otabind te whakatuwhera papatahi i ia pukapuka kia māmā ake ai te pānui.

Unique Properties

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.
