The May 1926 coup d’état in Poland inaugurated what has become known as the period of sanacja or “cleansing.” The event has been explored in terms of the impact that it had on state structures and political styles. But for both supporters and opponents of the post-May regime, the sanacja was a catalyst for debate about Polish national identity, about citizenship and responsibility to the nation, and about postwar sexual morality and modern gender identities. The Clash of Moral Nations is a study of the political culture of interwar Poland, as reflected in and by the coup. Eva Plach shifts the focus from strictly political contexts and examines instead the sanacja’s open-ended and malleable language of purification, rebirth, and moral regeneration. In tracking the diverse appropriations and manipulations of the sanacja concept, Plach relies on a wide variety of texts, including the press of the period, the personal and professional papers of notable interwar women activists, and the official records of pro-sanacja organizations, such as the Women’s Union for Citizenship Work. The Clash of Moral Nations introduces an important cultural and gendered dimension to understandings of national and political identity in interwar Poland.

  • Chapter 2: Poland Writes to Piłsudski

    • (Examines the public’s reaction to Piłsudski’s coup, particularly through letters and petitions, revealing public expectations and hopes tied to the idea of a “moral cleansing” of the nation.)

  • Chapter 4: Women’s Activism during the Sanacja Period

    • (Focuses on the role of women’s organizations and individual women in advocating for social and moral reform, and how their activism intersected with the Sanacja’s agenda, particularly concerning gender roles and public morality.)

  • Chapter 5: The Play-Boy in the Sanacja Nation

    • (Examines anxieties about masculinity, youth culture, and perceived moral decay, often symbolized by the “play-boy” figure, and how these figures were used in public discourse to debate national character and morality.)

  • Chapter 6: Assessing the Spring of Miracles

    • (A concluding chapter that likely assesses the long-term impact of the Sanacja’s cultural and moral politics, evaluating whether their stated goals of “cleansing” and “rebirth” were achieved, and the lasting legacy of these debates.)
