Narrating Otherness in Poland and Sweden: European Heritage as a Discourse of Inclusion and Exclusion, Krzysztof Kowalski, Lucja Piekarska-Duraj, Barbara Tornquist-Plewa

The book studies how multiple representations of the Other are constructed, Europeanized and used in Poland and Sweden in various heritage related contexts (museums, cities, war cemeteries, commemoration sites etc.) in the second decade of the 21^st century. In a more general sense, the authors raise the question of how otherness (in terms of culture, ethnicity, class, gender, etc.) is constructed and leads to its social inclusion, domestication, marginalization or – increasingly common in Scandinavian and Central European peripheries – exclusion.
