Przyczynek do badań nad oddziaływaniem lokalnej prasy na wiejską ludność Górnego Śląska – na przykładzie wybranych artykułów zawartych w „Przewodniku Wiejskim” – w latach 1919–1922
Upper Silesian Village in the Socio-Economic Context of the Formation of an Independent Polish State on the Pages of the “Rural Guide” Magazine in the Years 1919–1922

Summary/Abstract: The years 1919–1922 were a difficult period for Poland and especially for Upper Silesia. Social unrest, the resulting from it Silesian Uprisings and the issue of the plebiscite polarized the population of Upper Silesia. In addition, agitation in the Polish and German press, playing a huge propaganda role, was part of everyday life before the plebiscite. All these elements appear on the pages of the“Rural Guide” (Polish: “Przewodnik Wiejski”), which is the organ of the Silesian Farmers’ Union. In addition to propaganda articles, in the magazine one can also find articles related to agricultural activity, including crop growing and breeding guides. The magazine is interesting because it enables to follow almost “live” the political and social attitudes in Upper Silesia, partly represented by the authors of articles published in the “Rural Guide”.
