PIPR was published from 1986 until November 1989 as a continuation of Polish Underground Extracts (PUE). The Independent Press at a Turning Point / by Anna PomianAlthough competition from both the official media and the Solidarity press is forcing the underground press to reassess its priorities and enter a competitive market, it has assumed several new functions that appear to have assured its immediate future. Its long-term prospects, however, remain unclear. Polish Strikes as Ethnographic Material / by Anna PomianAn independent study published recently has offered a novel perspective on the Polish strike phenomenon. Further Reports from Eastern Europe / by Anna PomianThe Polish independent press has continued to document developments in other East bloc countries; there have been interviews with dissidents from Czechoslovakia, a report on the opposition movement in Bulgaria and the Turkish exodus, and news of a project in Poland to help the people of Romania. A New Project to Help Homeless Children / by Anna PomianA report published in an independent medical journal has described a new regional project for increasing the number of foster homes for children. Profiles of Major Independent Polish Publications: "Solidarność Walcząca" / by Witold Pronobis"Solidarność Walcząca" is the main publication of Fighting Solidarity and has been published biweekly in Wrocław since June 1982.
