Summary/Abstract: Professor Gerard Labuda describes himself as a Kashubian in Poznań. Even to this day he dreams and thinks in Kashubian... Although he has lived in the capital of Great Poland since 1936, he has throughout maintained very close contacts with his native land, where he enjoys immense respect and esteem. When working, among others, on the great synthesis ‘‘The History of Pomerania’’, he had in mind ‘‘The History of Kashube in the History of Pomerania’’ – a publication long awaited by his compatriots, particularly those convened in the Kashubian Union, of which Professor Labuda is a full and honorary member. In the year of the Professor’s jubilee, this work became a fact. His links with Kashubians and his way from ‘‘The History of Pomerania’’ to ‘‘The History of Kashube...’’ are the theme of the article.
