This book analyses articulations of cultural identity in the work
of the twentieth-century Polish poet Jerzy Harasymowicz,
concentrating on the ways in which his shifting perspectives on the
Carpathian Lemko Region are used to address the dilemmas of power,
hybridity and interethnic contact. Set against the background of
communist Poland, the poems examined here challenge official
narratives of identity, while exploring the possibilities and
limits of self-creation in poetry. Constituting the first post-1989
reading of Harasymowicz's verse, free from the constraints imposed
by political censorship, this book provides a reinterpretation of
the poet's work and reconsiders his contested legacy. By framing
the discussion within the context of postcolonial studies, the
author explores the usefulness of this approach in reassessing
cultural representations of Polish national identity and raises
broader questions about the ability of postcolonial theory to
redefine the established notions of national literature and
culture.
