Dziedzictwo niechciane. Walka pamięci w tetralogii śląskiej Evy Tvrdej
Heritage unwanted. Memory struggle in Silesian tetralogy of the Eva Tvrdá

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the issue of (national/ethnical) cultural heritage and conflict between hegemonic politics of memory and collective memory of cultural/ethnic minority on the example of Silesian tetralogy by Eva Tvrdá, a writer tied to Hlučín Region. Some of novel characters betray their families and community and choose assimilation into Czech or German society, but yet full assimilation is impossible, and identity cannot been reestablished. Constant feeling of being empty and incomplete becames a heritage, which Tvrda‘s characters pass down to the next generation.
