Annotation

This study explores the views of three prominent Kashubian activists, and especially of Donald Tusk, who became Polish Prime Minister in October 2007, on the changing status of Kashubian and its impact on identity, the influence of Poland's EU accession in 2004 and recent Polish governmental revitalisation initiatives, as well as the supportive role of Catholicism.
