The article is devoted to identify the regional and identity contexts in the lyrics of songs by Silesian rappers. The selection of artists was based on two criteria: they were born or raised in Silesian district and they still live there and the second is the most popular (as an Silesian rapper) by listeners on Spotify.com in June 2022. Rap is a unique kind of music with a lot of listeners. Rap as a part of popular culture would be useful in education as an example of sharing regional values, mentality, desirable behaviors, and the position of the Silesian identity in their lives. The lyrics contain the artists’ points of view on reality, the living conditions, and probably include guidance for listeners. Silesian rappers and their experience of being Silesian and a sense of Silesian identity could be part of the lyrics.

The starting point for the author’s reflections are quotes from the novels by Eva Tvrda and Horst Bienek, which illustrate the difficult experiences of Silesians resulting from the decisions of the Polish, German and Czechoslovak authorities pertaining to Silesia. Quotations from literature construct a context that allows to objectify the questions relevant to the article, namely “Whose is Silesia and how does the political struggle for Silesia that Poland, Germany and Czechoslovakia fought throughout their history reconstruct ethnic identity of Silesians? The author refers to the ideas of Ivan Čolović, from which she derives the concept of the borderland as a land prone to amputation, as well as the concept of post-traumatic identity as a painful identity. On the basis of the literary experiences of Silesia by Horst Bienek, the author attempts to reconstruct the phenomenon of Silesia, which in effect constructs the Silesian ethnic identity. The texts by Horst Bienek, “Birches and Blast Furnaces. Childhood in Upper Silesia” and “Journey to the Land of Childhood” are direct objects of analysis and interpretation.

Autorka punktem wyjścia swojej refleksji uczyniła cytaty z powieści Evy Tvardy i Horsta Bienka, które egzemplifikują trudne doświadczenia Ślązaków wynikające z politycznych decyzji wobec Śląska, które podejmowane były przez władze polskie, niemieckie i czechosłowackie. Przywołane z literatury cytaty konstruują kontekst, który pozwala zobiektywizować zasadnicze dla artykułu pytania: „Czyj jest Śląsk” i jak polityczna walka o Śląsk, którą w swojej historii toczyły Polska, Niemcy i Czechosłowacja, rekonstruuje tożsamość etniczną Ślązaków? Autorka korzysta z myśli Ivana Čolovicia, z której wyprowadza koncepcję pogranicza jako ziemi podatnej na amputację, a także koncepcję tożsamości posttraumatycznej jako tożsamości bolesnej. Na podstawie literacko opisanych doświadczeń śląskości Horsta Bienka autorka podejmuje próbę rekonstrukcji fenomenu śląskości, jako tego, co w efekcie konstruuje śląską tożsamość etniczną. Bezpośrednim przedmiotem analizy i interpretacji są teksty Horsta Bienka, „Brzozy i wielkie piece. Dzieciństwo na Górnym Śląsku” oraz „Podróż w krainę dzieciństwa”.
