Description
Summary:Book Review: Włodzimierz Mędrzecki (2022) Odzyskany śmietnik. Jak radziliśmy sobie z niepodległością w II Rzeczypospolitej [Reclaimed Trash. How we coped with independence in the Second Polish Republic], Kraków: Wydawnictwo Literackie, 483 pages, ISBN 978-830-808-009-2. This review is devoted to one of the latest books by Professor Włodzimierz Mędrzecki. It provides a brief summary of the contents, taking into account, among other things, the economic issues present in the work. At the same time, problems with the correct presentation of Upper Silesian issues in the book were pointed out, both in the territorial context (difficulties in distinguishing between Upper Silesia and the Dąbrowa Basin), problematic context (concerning the Upper Silesian plebiscite of 1921) and the literature on the subject used.
