Reviews
In her excellent book, Ewa Golebiowska presents the pervasiveness of prejudice in a country where the Holocaust took place. This superbly written and thorough survey of religious, ethnic and sexual hatred paradoxically conveys a positive message: the younger and more educated cohorts bring hope for the more tolerant Poland of tomorrow. -Michael Bilewicz, University of Warsaw What is the meaning of pluralism in a place where virtually everyone is ethnically Polish and Catholic? How can we explain (and stop) intolerance and violence against ethnic, religious and sexual minorities? The Many Faces of Tolerance investigates these key social and political issues through detailed examinations of survey data on contemporary Poles' attitudes towards various Others-real or imagined. Most importantly, Golebiowska identifies the causal structure behind different sub-groups' (in)tolerance of specific minorities. This insightful book thus provides not only a more complete and nuanced portrait of intolerance in Poland, but also sheds light on the causes and mechanisms motivating conflict or harmony more generally. -Genevieve Zubrzycki, University of Michigan
