Many of the problems discussed here seem from the European perspective – or at least the Western European one – exotic, even parochial, but this is a misunderstanding of what the United States is. In America they are real since America is a baroque, extremely pluralistic country, with the citizens devoid of an apologizing attitude towards the democratic process and debating fiercely in public. The first essay, by Marta Dębska, “A Brief History of Americanization”, is a general, concise historical-comparative study which explains the meaning of this term, crucial for America. Andrzej Bryk takes up an issue which Dębska touches on in the conclusion of her essay. Marta du Vall analyzes the very interesting phenomenon of American compassionate conservatism as a new version of the welfare state, an issue which has been in the air for a long time. Maciej Brachowicz discusses the topic of abortion, which in the American context is especially contested. The subject of Tocqueville and slavery has always fascinated students of America, and Wojciech Kaczor is no exception. He analyzes the problem from the point of view of a French aristocrat. In turn Piotr Musiewicz analyzes the question of the 19th-century movement reforming the doctrine of the Anglican Church and the repercussions of this reform for the American Episcopal Church. Rafał Marek takes up another topic connected with this religious side of American life, the issue of the Orthodox Church in the United States in the context of American church-state relations. Marta Majorek takes up the work of one of the best-known scholars and thinkers of anarchism, Robert Paul Wolff, living proof of the robust presence of the anarchist streak in the American psyche full of mistrust of state power. Beata Szyjka addresses the topic of the visa lottery in the United States, placing it within the historical, legal and social context of American immigration law. The last article in the volume is an exception to the entirely Polish group of mainly young students of America publishing in this volume. It is written by one of the most distinguished American scholars of political philosophy, Catherine H. Zuckert of the University of Notre Dame. It is devoted to the work of Ralph Ellison. As usual the American volume of Krakowskie Studia Międzynarodowe contains its Archive section. This time we publish an excerpt from a work by Richard John Neuhaus.Pozycja Państwo i Społeczeństwo nr 2, 2007(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2007) Pilch, Andrzej; Prendecki, Krzysztof; Skawińska, Mirosława; Mikołajczyk, Jolanta; Gajda, Agnieszka; Grott, Olgierd; Polaczek, Marta; Malczyk-Herdzina, Małgorzata; Bierówka, Joanna; Ostafińska-Konik, Agnieszka; Maślanka, Tomasz; Walas-Trębacz, Jolanta; Galata, Stanisław; Litwin, Tomasz; Malec, Jerzy; Kotowska, Agata; Biernat, Tadeusz; Balicki, Marek; Kilian, Stanisław; Majchrowski, JacekPozycja Slavery in the Gulf in the First of the 20th Century: a study based on records from the British Archives(Wydawnictwo Naukowe ASKON, 2008) Zdanowski, JerzyThis book is on slavery in the Persian Gulf in the early 20th century, as documented in the official reports of British officials as well as the slaves' statements made at the British Agencies. Giving a statement was a prerequisite of manumission the slaves were applying for in front of the British officials. In the course of the research 949 statements made between 1907 and 1949 were found and their analysis sheds a light on various aspects of the social, economic and political life in the Gulf in this period. Slavery was an important part of the socio-economic system of the region, which was based on pearl diving and the cultivation of palm trees. The system had existed for ages but it was threatened by a deep crisis in the 1920s and 1930s. This fact had significant implications for slavery.Pozycja The crime of aristocracy – Count Alexis de Tocqueville on american slavery(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2010) Kaczor, Wojciech"During his journey to the United States in 1831, the French count Alexis de Tocqueville encountered in Baltimore a slave so terrorized by his master that he had gone out of his mind and spent his days in lunacy, howling like a dog1. Near the end of the journey, Tocqueville wrote to his father"(...)
