Recovered Territory

A German-Polish Conflict over Land and Culture, 1919-1989

Beschreibung

Describes how the borderland of Upper Silesia was at the centre of a conflict between Germany and Poland between 1919 and 1989. Explains how, in their interaction with - and mutual influence on - one another, political and cultural actors from both nations developed a transnational culture of territorial rivalry. Describes how this rivalry played a critical role in one of history's most violent and uprooting eras.
