minds of the current Russian leadership. In contrast, the book insists that the Belarusian people and the Russian people have followed different historical paths and have different experiences and self-identifications. It further argues that there are great differences in their cultures and languages, geographic environments, and opportunities for political influence. While the book makes several valuable points, its central argument is somewhat weak and not very convincing. That Belarus and Russia are two different countries is an indisputable fact. However, mentally organizing these countries as two different civilizations that clash (83) makes us oblivious to a number of complexities. First of all, epistemologically, the Huntingtonian “clash of civilizations” is rooted in political realism, which claims the inevitability of inter-civilizational clashes. It does not look into intra-civilizational diversity, and it presents each civilization as static, monolithic, and immutable. Such views ultimately ignore cultural, historical, and linguistic interpenetration among different civilizations. Moreover, Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” has been politically utilized and popularized by the Russian leadership in order to legitimize its claims. It is not clear from the monograph how helpful and necessary this framing really is. Secondly, the “clash of civilizations” is embedded in the epistemology of deterministic othering. For example, the author refers to Russia’s immutable “nature” (178), its inherent aggressiveness (169), and claims that “European culture is genetically closer to Belarusians” (194). Such labels and generalizations are somewhat inadequate, as they do not allow us critically to reflect and discuss the current reality. There are examples of European countries imposing high moral standards in efforts to come to terms with their own pasts. However, the argument that Russia, “formed thanks to the Golden Horde” (62), is inherently aggressive appears orientalizing and ultimately simplistic. Notwithstanding these critical reflections, the book provides a good basis for a profound discussion about the orientation of Belarus and its possible future. It is clear that in order to resist Russia’s influence, Belarus needs to reclaim its Europeanness. Challenging widespread myths and simplifications about Belarus, the book offers us needed perspectives on the country, which is now facing one of the darkest periods of its history and a very unclear future.

ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the question of Polish engagement in modern colonial projects and how contemporary Polish political discourse denies this uncomfortable legacy. Poland’s colonial aspirations first arose in the aftermath of World War I. Even though colonialism was never directly supported by the interwar Polish government, the influence of the Maritime and Colonial League – an organization advocating colonial expansion – grew gradually until 1939, when it had around a million members. The author argues that colonialism in interwar Poland functioned as a marker of modernity, and that the failure to acquire colonies overseas defined the state as insufficiently modern. The author claims that, in political discourse today, the Polish–Haitian connection – a curious legacy of Napoleonic times – is often used as a smokescreen to cover the fact that Poland once actively sought opportunities to acquire colonies overseas. The myth of heroic Polish participation in the Haitian Revolution now serves to rebut accusations of racist prejudice in Poland or to resist political recognition of social diversity persistent in Polish politics. Additionally, the article discusses how contemporary media and art represent Haiti and Haitian Poles and how some works set an example of ethical engagement with postcolonial studies in the Polish context.

Holocaust that have been on the periphery in Holocaust historiography take centre stage. For example, this volume engages the study of occupation in east-central European nations; women’s varied roles as resisters, rescuers, and leaders; and queer Holocaust history, sexual violence, and other topics previously stigmatized in the field. Additionally, the volume addresses marginalized aspects within the profession of Holocaust studies by highlighting the latest research on gender and the Holocaust in east-central Europe by scholars from the region itself – scholars at different career stages and from a variety of professional backgrounds. Authors make use of non-English-language sources from archives in Poland, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine, and they draw upon underutilized ego sources such as the testimonies of child survivors of Sereď Camp and women survivors of Sobibor. If This Is a Woman is meticulously researched, thoughtful, and effective. It provides a multifaceted contribution that strengthens the growing body of literature on gender and gendered experiences during World War II and the Holocaust, and it will undoubtedly prompt future research on the topic. This volume is recommended for scholars and students interested in the study of the Holocaust through the lens of gender and its intersectionalities, and it will be of particular interest to those following historiographic trends. This thought-provoking book also has pragmatic relevance. With the contemporary rise of anti-gender narratives and the curtailing of women’s rights, this volume brings attention to the immediate significance of research on gender to both Holocaust studies and current issues. Whether in Holocaust research or present-day dialogue, gender must be understood as a “fundamental component of human experience” (xiii). If This Is a Woman continues the decades-long campaign to underscore women’s experiences in the Holocaust by moving the concept of “gender” out of the margins to the front and centre of the conversation.
