Description

Patrons of History: Nobility, Capital and Political Transitions in Poland by Routledge examines the resilience of the Polish gentry. This scholarly work explores how social capital and power relationships allowed a specific class to survive despite the challenges of a communist regime. Through land reform and high-profile trials, the regime attempted to disempower this group, yet the gentry maintained their influence. The book analyzes the conversion of capital from one form to another, specifically how the gentry revitalized older forms of cultural capital. By utilizing education and transnational networks, they successfully transformed wealth and land to preserve their social standing. This study provides a deep look into the mechanisms of social survival and political transition in Poland.
