In the immediate aftermath of the WW1, Upper Silesia was the site of the largest formal exercise in self-determination in European history - the 1921 Plebiscite. This book explores a range of topics related to nationality issues in Upper Silesia and highlights the flaws at the heart of attempts to shape Europe as homogenously national polities.
