Description
Modernizing Localities in Poland: A Never-ending Transformation investigates modern cultural traditions and their transformations in Poland. Designed as a series of case studies analyzing music festivals, city parades, rural rituals, and contemporary bachelorette parties, this book creates a rich panorama of Poland's cultural, social, and political transformations. The catalysts for these transformations are highway drivers, music festival and street parade participants, local activists and artists, reenactors of history and tradition. Thanks to their insight, the author describes local events and communities from the inside, focusing on the values and motivations that prompted their participation in Poland's cultural traditions.
