About Cultural Wars Against Poland 書系

《對抗波蘭嘅文化戰爭》係波蘭國家文化中心出版嘅一套普及科學歷史書系。呢套書系涵蓋由十七世紀末至二十世紀上半葉嘅歷史時期。封面採用非常粗糙嘅紙張，加強咗戰爭、粗獷同破壞嘅訊息。封面上撕裂書頁嘅圖案以壓凹（盲壓）方式呈現。內文用黑色同濃烈紅色雙色印刷，紅色點綴呼應波蘭國旗嘅色調。Otabind裝訂令每一冊都可以平攤打開，方便閱讀。

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.
