This researcher from Cracow published the results of her scientific peregrination without giving the accurate and unequivocal answer to the questions of this group identity and its definition of ethnicity. The following researches on the Polish Tatars ethical and religious identity were carried out by Katarzyna Warminska. Zbigniew Jasiewicz withdrew his previous statement. This thesis did not stand the test of time, after the year of 1989, there was a kind of the Polish Tatars ethnical rebirth connected with, among others, the setting of the Association of Tatars in the Republic of Poland in 1992.
He indicated that Tatars lost attributes of an ethnical group due to assimilation, therefore they should be classified as an ethnographic group with only some distinguishing features. The research results were published in 1980, in ‘Lud’. In 1975, he conducted the research with the cooperation with students from the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (AMU) scientific circle of ethnographers. The another one comes from Zbigniew Jasiewicz, a scientist from Poznan. This is obviously one of theories associated with the Polish Tatars. This was noticed by Marek Karp, the late founder of the Center of Eastern Studies. Their ethnicity has always been tribal, thus there is more dual, archaic national identity – both Polish and Lithuanian. For this reason, the Polish Tatars identity has never been at the stage of ‘nationality’ - in the contemporary understanding. These names have been referred to ethnicity or to religion as well as territory.Īppearing of Tatars in the Great Duchy of Lithuania in the turning of 14th and 15th centuries had occurred before the period of modern nations forming.
The Polish Tatars, the Lithuanian Tatars, the Polish –Lithuanian Tatars, the Lipka Tatars, the Tatars of the Great Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish Muslims, Muślimi, The Polish-Lithuanian Muslims, the Tatar Muslims in Poland and Lithuania, the Muslim – Tatars, they are the names have been used to describe the Polish Tatars during the whole history.
