This volume presents various aspects of public history practices in
Poland, alongside their historical development and theoretical
reflections on public history. Despite a long tradition and variety
of forms of public history, the very term "public history", or
literally speaking "history in the public sphere", has been in use
in Poland only since the 2010s. This edited collection contains
chapters that focus on numerous practices and media forms in public
history including historical memory, heritage tourism, historical
re-enactments, memes and graphic novels, films, archives,
archaeology and oral history. As such, the volume brings together
the Polish experiences to wider international audiences and shares
Polish controversies related to public history within the academic
discourse, beyond media news and politically engaged commentaries.
Furthermore, it sheds crucial light on the developments of
collective memory, historical and political debates, the history of
Poland and East-Central Europe, and the politics of post-World War
Two and post-communist societies. Authored by a team of academic
historians and practitioners from the field, Public History in
Poland is the perfect resource for students from a variety of
disciplines including Public History, Heritage, Museum Studies,
Anthropology, and Archaeology.
