Overview

Notes from the EU's Eastern Edge is a bold, singular book--auto-ethnography with analytic bite, theoretically literate without scholasticism, and ethically self-aware. It shows how Kremlin "migration engineering" met a ready-made European script of fear, pride, and denial along the Belarus-Poland frontier. It traces how memory politics and securitized compassion turn migrants into symbols in border forests, as well as in newsrooms, museums, and classrooms, while bilingual gatekeepers launder hard edges into "responsible" discourse. The book's core contribution is to shift Polish-populism studies from monist typologies to a processual account of a dialectical, polycentric regime of managed antagonisms, refusing the easy pejorative of "populism" and retaining an emancipatory horizon. Vivid reportage sits with compact documentary mini-cases to show how trauma, sovereignty and solidarity are being rewritten at Europe's edge. Definitive for debates on borders, memory and the political unconscious in Central Europe.
