The next special issue of the Western Institute's journal in English contains a selection of articles from the journal's year-long 2017 edition.
The articles presented in the first part of the anthology relate to the affairs of Europe and the experiences of its individual countries, and are bound together by threads of currently taking place processes and new phenomena. Examples of the changing situation of the family, the voice of young voters, immigration or such a special form of identity as memory determine everyday realities and indicate the need for consistency of practiced policy and legislated law with the subjective needs of individuals and communities.
The second part of the volume is filled with historical studies and papers. Inspired primarily by the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, they also reflect researchers' interests in the role of women in society, culture or confessional communities. They can be treated, like the dissertations on the historian of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or the émigré publicist, as elements of a rich mosaic of the past consisting of images of the history of regions, "small homelands" or institutions and organizations.
