Summary
At the end of World War I, an eclectic group of Polish 'civilizers' - from border guards and urban planners to teachers and military settlers - descended upon a poor, war-torn, and multi-ethnic borderland that had previously been part of the Russian empire. 'On Civilization's Edge' examines how fears of national weakness, competitions for local power, and mounting anxieties about the rise of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union set the stage for Polish statesmen to assert their right to rule over the region's ethnic minorities
