摘要

本文考察了早期波兰儿童文学封面中的黑人形象。在这样做的过程中，它提请人们注意有意识或无意识地再现长期存在的以欧洲为中心的非洲及其人民的殖民/种族想象的文本实践。作为全球殖民/种族秩序的一部分，这些文献经常描绘黑人身体的自卑，同时强调白人和欧洲人的优越性。这些文化作品有助于当代种族主义的再现和传播，与波兰有色人种的日常经历交织在一起。

Geographies of imagination: why decolonizing Polish children’s classics matters

This article examines the iconography of blackness in the book covers of early Polish children’s literature. In doing so, it draws attention to textual practices that consciously or unconsciously reproduce the long-existing Eurocentric colonial/racial imaginaries of Africa and its people. This literature often depicts the inferiority of illustrated Black bodies, whilst highlighting the superiority of whiteness and Europeanness, as part of the global colonial/racial order. Such cultural productions, which contribute to the reproduction and dissemination of contemporary racism, are intertwined with the everyday experiences of people of colour in Poland.
