This is an automatically translated description

This book is a kind of anthropological reportage. It is compiled from the pages of the author's field ethnographic diaries and travel notes made during a trip to Poland in 2015-2018. Each part of the book is a personal story from the everyday life of people on different sides of the border: administrative, confessional, ethnic, imaginary, phantom, etc. These stories show that the reality of everyday life in local communities on the periphery is much more complex than the official visions of national histories in neighbouring states. The voices of (un)ordinary people, the hints, feelings, halftones, and silences that make up the delicate and vulnerable fabric of human everyday life are often invisible and unclear. This book is an attempt to tell us about these people and the challenges they face on a daily basis, and it aims to teach us to be more tolerant, more open to otherness, to talk about a common unconquered past, to the multitude of voices.
