Abstract
The article is based on anthropological fieldwork basing on participant observation and interviews conducted in 2014 during Program „Sigma” Erazmus Mundus 2 in Tuzla, Lukavac, Sarayevo and Mostar. The interviewees were the members of Polish minority in Bosnia and Herzegovina engaged in Polish cultural organisations. The study aimed at understanding various types of bonds with Poland as a state or the culture and even family histories, as presented in interviews and behaviours. The author poses the question: why intence development of Polish organisations flourished in the period of war in 1991-1995, in spite of the fact that Polish emigration to Bosnia started in the second half of 19th century. P resently the organi z ations are fading and even dissapearing. T he author traces manifestations of Polish identity and national ties in Bosnia and presents typology, linki ng particula r types of Polish identity with time and character of emigration .
