Postkolonializm i postsocjalizm jako komunały AB - Colonising of History. Postcolonialism and Postsocialism as Commonplaces Drawing on Eric R. Wolf famous appeal that anthropology bears a special responsibility to examine the commonplaces of human thought and the fighting words of human speech (Wolf 1994), in this essay I consider some aspects of postcolonialism and postsocialism specific understanding  in a public culture – especially in Poland and, to lesser extent,  other formerly dependent nation-states: Fiji and Jamaica. Public culture itself is, in a sense, a common place where numerous terms and arguments of academic origins are losing their previous meaning and acquire new senses. They are often objects of abuse and semantic manipulations in order to impose a specific interpretations of the past – which is the colonizing of the history – that are instrumental to justify domination of the particular socio-political policies.
