The author recalls a now-classic monograph of a Silesian housing estate, written by Professor Józef Chałasiński, an outstanding Polish sociologist, entitled Polish-German Antagonism in the “Kopalnia” Factory Housing Estate in Upper Silesia. He discusses the basic assumptions of this monograph and the main theses of its three pre-war reviews (by Paweł Rybicki, Stanisław Rychliński, and Tadeusz Szczurkiewicz). He then presents the post-war reception of Professor Chałasiński’s research, and closes by reflecting on the topicality of this monograph.
