In her diaries Maria Dabrowska expresses concerns about the future of European and Polish culture after 1945. According to the authorrss, Polish culture is threatened with russification which being conducted with 'devilish force and cunning'. Dabrowska exaggerated the susceptibility of Poles to such danger. She believed that the Catholic Church could not provide an effective barrier against it, nor could the publications appearing abroad - of which Dabrowska was critical. Which is why an intellectual can only serve his nation effectively if he remains in Poland. Thus, a large part of the diaries was devoted to the defence of Polishness.

The essays by Kevin Hannan in 'My Poland' represent an original, penetrating commentary on the realities of contemporary culture and society, as well as a remarkable presentation of the author's analysis of Polish history. Various topics are discussed, such as the definition of a nation in terms of national mentalities and stereotypes (and the inadequacies of such a definition). The author devotes considerable attention to the ethnolinguistic description of Poles and their neighbors. Attentively he documents the vicissitudes of Polishness across time and across the space of the borderlands, whether for Silesia (the home of certain of his ancestors) or the former eastern territories of Poland. He suggests that the reader consider Poland from a multidimensional perspective and in direct relation to the other Slavic and the other European nations. Also noteworthy is the author's contrast of the land of his ancestors with contemporary America and its deceptive multiculturalism. The essays are distinguished by an original cultural viewpoint which is untouched by any limitations which might arise from a shortsighted local perspective. The issues discussed are brought home to the reader through the personal, reflective tone of the language, which is natural and witty.

This paper refers to Witold Wirpsza’s book Pole, Who Are You? which is a multidimensional cultural analysis of the phenomenon of Polishness, showing the origins and results of national myths. It shows that the character of the Polish national community has been determined by the development of the standard/literary national language. On that basis the author shows a dilemma of an individual in community, with emphasis on ethical, spiritual and emotional values. Forty years after the book’s publication the question posed in the title continues to provoke discussions, despite different political and economic conditions. The question forces Poles to define their place and attitudes to the integration of Europe.
