Ethnicity and Post-peasant Economy: on memories of ethnic integration and exclusion in East Central Europe
In this presentation I argue that ethnic tensions and co-existence has always been related to widely conceived economy I call post-peasant and the key transformation that established post-peasants was state socialism.
My first empirical case deals with Gorals, Tatra highlanders of Polish-Slovak borderland, whose tourist economy in Zakopane integrates them into majority society while in the same time keeps Gorals different from the Polish majority. In the second case I argue that political radicals vis-à-vis the Roma in Slovakia mobilize neither ‘socialist’ nor ‘capitalist’ ethnic exclusion, but the one I derive from post-peasant condition. In the third case I return to my research on ethnic tensions and tolerance on the Polish-Ukrainian borderland and refer to East European refugee xenophobia in order to prove that ethnicity in post-socialist European Union can only be politically enacted with regard to the post-peasant economy.
