The article The Sons of Staś. Colonial Masculinities in Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski’s Youth Novels analyses the motif of male initiation in three narrative texts of the Polish popular writer from the interwar period: W poleskiej dżungli [In the Polesian Jungle], Mali zwycięzcy [Little Winners] and Skarb Wysp Andamańskich [The Treasure of the Andaman Islands]. Referring to postcolonial theory and the analysis of ideological discourses of the Second Polish Republic, the author examines novels with the aim to show representations of different cultures, masculinity models that existed in Poland and abroad in that period, and methods of their adaptation for the needs of children’s and youth literature.

Męskości kolonialne w powieściach młodzieżowych Ferdynanda Antoniego Ossendowskiego stanowi analizę wątków inicjacyjnych w trzech tekstach narracyjnych popularnego prozaika z czasów dwudziestolecia międzywojennego: powieści W poleskiej dżungli, Mali zwycięzcy i Skarb Wysp Andamańskich. Odwołując się do teorii postkolonialnej oraz analizy dyskursów ideologicznych Drugiej Rzeczpospolitej, autor bada powieściowe reprezentacje odmiennych kultur oraz obowiązujące wówczas w Polsce i za granicą wzorce męskości oraz sposoby ich adaptacji na potrzeby literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży.

The essay Black despair, white light. On the monstrosity of metisation in “Dzieje królowej Oceanii” (“The Story of the Queen of Oceania”) by Sygurd Wiśniowski fo-cuses on the way of perceiving the problem of “race mixing” in the post-colonial discourse. The vision of a “half-caste” presented in this discourse is connected with the negative category of hybridity. In that perspective a Metis or Mulatto is a monstrous freak, deprived of a distinct identity. The protagonist of Wiśniowski’s novel, being such a person, is unable to find the original body scheme, and exists only thanks to the “white man’s look” (F. Fanon). As a result of the complex plot the heroine starts to realise, that her subjectivity is in fact established thanks to the system of differences. In the context of her metamorphosis her hybridity transforms its meaning, bringing it closer to the concepts of “synergism” and “syncretism”, which play an important role in the post-colonial theory because of their power to create new cultural values.
