Abstract

The article seeks to establish whether the November Rising was — or was not — duly acknowledged in the Centenary Year 1930 in the Cracow press. But the point is not merely to take note of the coverage of the anniversary celebrations and the commemorative articles, but rather to fi nd out if these texts were infused with current political concerns. We ask further to what extent the latter came to dominate the ostensible historical theme and what other functions may have been served by the Centenary journalism of 1930. Of course, the article also considers the manner in which the Cracow press took up the role of a popular historical educator.
