Notes
1 On these two traditions of nationalism and the historical circumstances of the
emergence of the latter type in Poland and East Europe at large, see Kohn 1944;
Walicki 1981; Connor 1994. On the persistence of this concept of nation and
nationalism under communist rule in Poland, see Morawska 1987.
2 This is a regional group whose members, viewed as German by Germans and Polish
by Poles, tend to identify themselves in terms of their local rather than national
membership (see Grabe 2000; Jonczy 2000; Rauzinski 2000; Schmidt 2000).
3 This group also includes (omitted in this chapter) Communist-era contract workers
who have stayed on in Berlin and continue to work as illegal immigrants.
4 This group includes an unknown number of Polish contract labourers in Berlin who
overstay their temporary visitor permits (see note 14 below) and engage in work in the
city’s informal economy.
