In this provocative and insightful book, Joanna Beata Michlic interrogates the myth
of the Jew as Poland's foremost internal "threatening other," harmful to Poland, its
people, and to all aspects of its national life. This is the first attempt to chart
new theoretical directions in the study of Polish-Jewish relations in the wake of
the controversy over Jan Gross's book Neighbors. Michlic analyzes the nature and impact
of anti-Jewish prejudices on modern Polish society and culture, tracing the history
of the concept of the Jew as the threatening other and its role in the formation and
development of modern Polish national identity based on the matrix of exclusivist
ethnic nationalism
