Image of the Other: Polish Attitudes towards
Ukrainians. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2008, Pages: 60
Polish-Ukrainian relations have been invariably
highly complicated. These
complications usually resulted from the very close
proximity, which on the one hand
forced the two nations (and/or states) into
co-operation, but on the other hand
engendered frequent conflicts of interests. The aim
of this book is to examine present
Polish attitudes towards Ukrainians from a
socio-psychological perspective. This
perspective is understood as a research into
psychological mechanisms of the
attitudes, nationality stereotypes or prejudices and
placing them into socio-cultural
context. Moreover, the study touches upon the problem
of ethnic and national
identity, national character and perception of ‘the
other’ dependent on various social
and non-social factors. Polish attitudes towards
Ukrainians – understood as national
minority and as Poland’s neighbour – are displayed on
the background of the
attitudes towards other national minorities and their
home states.
