This article analyses critical responses to William Styron’s "The Confessions of Nat Turner", claiming that the reception of the novel was strongly determined by the question of race and the different perception-and-interpretation of a “common” history by black and white Americans. I demonstrate that the polemics about Styron’s novel resulted not only from an entirely different understanding by white and black critics of the question as to what literature is essentially and what social role it has to perform, but also from the incompatible implementation of historiography, in the realm of which both sides placed the novel. I argue that, as a result, the critical controversies about "The Confessions" were drawn along the so-called “color line”, a category which traditionally defined Americans according to their race.

Polityka historyczna jest na ogół elementem polityki zagranicznej państwa. Rosja odwołując się do dziedzictwa i tradycji historycznej Rosji carskiej i Związku Radzieckiego od kilkudziesięciu lat zakłamuje historię Polski. W ostatnim latach oskarża RP m.in. o współpracę z III Rzeszą. W artykule poddano analizie charakterystyczne przejawy antypolskiej propagandy historycznej w niektórych mediach rosyjskich oraz pracach historycznych, co znajduje odzwierciedlenie w bieżącej polityce Kremla.

Historical policy is most often an element of the country’s foreign policy. Russia, referring to the heritage and the historical tradtion of the Tsar’s Russia and the USSR, for decades has been distorting Polish history. In the recent years it has accused Poland of, among others, co-operation with the Third Reich. The article presents characteristic displays of an anti-Polish historical propaganda in certain Russian media as well as in historical works, which is reflected in the current Kremlin policy.
