  • The Polish Liberal Project in Jan Krzysztof Bielecki's Policy Statement
    Roczniki Historii Socjologii ISSN 2084–2031 • Vol. X (2019) p p. 9 3 –1 1 0 The Polish Liberal Project in Jan Krzysztof Bielecki’s Policy Statement Sławomir Drelich Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń Jan Krzysztof Bielecki’s liberal project—introduction The office of the first non-communist prime minister in post-war Poland was held by Tadeusz Mazowiecki. Linked with Solidarity from its beginnings, Mazowiecki began his political career in the PAX Association, on whose behalf he was elected to the Sejm of the Polish People’s Republic. Mazowiecki’s biography perfectly exemplifies the struggle of the generation which grew up during occupation and in Stalinist times, with a political regime imposed on the Poles. Mazowiecki’s policy statement, delivered on 24 August 1989, undoubtedly marked a symbolic end of the communist era in Poland. Although the message of Mazowiecki’s statement suited the period of transition that Poland was about to undergo, it did not provide a specific vision of Poland’s new political system. 93 Sławomir Drelich Mazowiecki was succeeded by Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, a politician younger than him by a generation; Bielecki was born in the Polish People’s Republic, and was also associated with Solidarity’s expert committee. While this organization essentially provided Bielecki with the first experience in his social and political career, he is considered as one of the so called “Gdańsk liberals” (Knoch 2015: 111–114). This is why Bielecki’s policy statement differed significantly from the policy statement of his opponent, as it includes a more precisely-put idea of the new political, economic and social system.

African American history has influenced virtually every facet of our country’s culture. While many are aware of prominent African American contributions to literature, sports, and the visual arts, many are less informed of other impor- tant contributions and innovations in fields like science and technology. African American literature is too valuable to be confined only to February, during Black History month. Librarians and educators should share African American literature with children and teens throughout the year with various lessons and discussions. Through a more constant exposure to African American history and experience, young people can begin to relate on a more personal level.

  • Wprow.Chp:Corel VENTURA
    WPROWADZENIE Wprowadzenie 7 lipca 1807 r. na mocy traktatu pokojowego, podpisanego przez cesarza Napoleona I i cara Aleksandra I w Tyl¿y, utworzone zosta³o Ksiêstwo War- szawskie. Obejmowa³o ono ziemie drugiego i trzeciego zaboru pruskiego. W 1809 r. zosta³o powiêkszone o tzw. Galicjê Zachodni¹ – trzeci zabór aus- triacki. Okolicznoœci, w jakich powsta³o Ksiêstwo Warszawskie, wi¹¿¹ siê œciœle z wojnami napoleoñskimi i politycznymi dzia³aniami cesarza Francuzów. W 1806 r. zaistnia³a dla Polaków mo¿liwoœæ odzyskania niepodleg³oœci na skutek konfliktu zbrojnego francusko-pruskiego i wspania³ych zwyciêstw Napoleona pod Jen¹ i Auerstadt. Wczeœniej jeszcze zostali rozgromieni Austriacy pod Ulm, a wraz z Rosjanami ponieœli klêskê pod Austerlitz. W toku dalszych dzia³añ armia francuska, operuj¹c przeciwko wojsku pruskiemu, musia³a wkroczyæ na ziemie Rzeczypospolitej, które po trzecim rozbiorze znajdowa³y siê w rêkach Hohenzollernów. Pomimo wymienionych efektownych zwyciêstw francuskich, kampania nie zakoñczy³a siê szybko i armia napoleoñska musia³a pozostaæ zim¹ 1806/1807 na ziemiach polskich. Napoleon, znajduj¹c siê na terytorium narodu, który dobija³ siê swojej niepodleg³oœci i znaj¹c wartoœæ ¿o³nierza polskiego z Legionów, by³ pewny poparcia realizacji swoich celów. Nie mia³ jedynie pewnoœci, kto zdo³a naj- skuteczniej pozyskaæ Polaków dla wojny, która mia³a na celu nie tylko pokonanie Prus, ale tak¿e skuteczne os³abienie Rosji i zaprowadzenie w Europie nowego systemu. Cesarz, powierzaj¹c sprawy organizacyjne genera³owi D¹browskiemu, chcia³ te¿ zaanga¿owaæ autorytet Tadeusza Koœciuszki. Jednak Naczelnik, stawiaj¹c warunki, których Napoleon nie móg³ przyj¹æ, wykluczy³ siê z dalszych pertraktacji1.
