“Authentically” ethnic? Coloniality as expectations of “authenticity” towards ethnic minorities
Governing by gifts
The article examines contemporary practices of charity through an anthropological lens on gift-giving. Drawing on ethnographic data from two contexts – a Lithuanian urban food charity NGO and Polish charitable initiatives for the Polish minority in Lithuania – it argues that charitable giving operates not only as a redistribution of goods and an expression of solidarity, but also as a mechanism producing relations of dependency, moral hierarchies…
Freeing the Polyphony
Coloniality in today’s world is a matrix of worldviews, shaping the mechanisms governing not only the coloniser’s but also the colonised mind, nevertheless, as well as ways of resisting it. In this article, we examine how coloniality, shaping the identity politics towards ethnic minorities, perpetuates relations of power and subordination through essentialism. As is widely acknowledged, essentialism can serve as an emancipatory and strategic tool…
Contemporary Self-identification as a “Tutejszy” in Southeastern Lithuania
The article raises the issue of identification as a “tutejszy” among people who live in southeastern Lithuania today.

To answer this question, qualitative field research was conducted using observation, participant observat…
The Role of the Kresy Discourse in Constructing the Contemporary Identity of Poles in Lithuania
The consequence of establishing new Polish state borders after the Second World War was the mass resettlement of citizens of the pre-war Second Polish Republic (II Rzeczpospolita) from the so-called Kresy – now newly established Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian republics of the Soviet Union – to the Polish People’s Republic (Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa). The 240,000 Poles, who left the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic as part of the post…
On the way to visibility
In this article, we investigate the process of transformation of the Lithuanian Roma genocide in the cultural memory over more than twenty years since the restoration of independence. For many years, the Roma genocide has been ‘an invisible’ part of Lithuanian history, contributing to social, cultural, and historical marginalization of the Roma. We trace how the memory of the genocide is being gradually included into the public discourse, and how…
