Abstract
Since the days of de Toqueville and even earlier, the observations of perceptive visitors have provided a valuable amendment to the perceptions of natives of their own country. Special interest attaches to such observations when they come from the other side of the Iron Curtain. Emilia Wilder took her Ph.D. in Philosophy and Slavistics from the University of Vienna and an advance degree in Philosophy and German language and literature from the University of Cracow. While in Vienna, she contributed articles to Berichte zur Kultur-und Zeitgeschichte and worked as a translator and lexicographer. For the last fifteen years she has concentrated on studies of East European contemporary culture, ideology, and sociology, along with that area's political, economic, and propaganda background, with main emphasis on Poland.
