What about this ethnocentrism? An essay on the margins of Jerzy Nikitorowicz’s thinking
The history of national and ethnic minorities in Poland is a story about how they constantly have to create space for their existence and coexistence in Polishness. During the Second Polish Republic, nationalist and liberalist tendencies clashed in public space. The authorities of the Polish People’s Republic saw minorities merely as folk varieties of Polish culture. This had one goal: to create a homogeneous state. The 2005 Act on National, Ethnic Minorities and Regional Languages confirmed Poland’s multiculturalism. Work on the act coincided with the development of views on ethnicity and ethnocentrism in Jerzy Nikitorowicz’s thinking. Today, many representatives of minority groups postulate the need to amend the 2005 Act. The aim of the article is to reconstruct Jerzy Nikitorowicz’s thinking about “ethnicity” and “ethnocentrism”, because his scientific reflection well explains the socio-cultural nature of both phenomena. The article is composed of three parts. The first part is a reconstruction of the concept of “ethnicity”. The second is a reconstruction of the cultural pattern of “ethnocentrism”. The third is an attempt at reflection resulting from the application of Jerzy Nikitorowicz’s views in the process of understanding today’s dynamics of political activities/emancipatory struggles of minorities in Poland.
