Kashubian matica?

[Floris van Nierop]

Dear SEELANGSers,

As part of my research on the Serb and Croatian national movements in the
nineteenth century, I am currently looking into the cultural institutions
known as 'maticas'. More specifically, I am trying to establish to what
extent the nineteenth-century maticas can be considered as
essentially 'Habsburg-Slav' institutions (albeit in some cases, most
notably the Serb and Galician ones, of obvious trans-border and potentially
irredentist importance). So far, I have come across two non-Habsburg
maticas: the Sorbian and the Kashubian ones. The only reference to the
Kashubian matica I have found is a brief mention in Norman
Davies' 'Europe', so I would be very interested to hear if anyone has
further reading suggestions on this topic. Many thanks in advance for your
reply!

Kind regards,
Floris van Nierop
