Murzynek Bambo

Murzynek Bambo (Bambo the little negro) is a children's poem by Polish-Jewish author Julian Tuwim (September 1894 – December 1953), written in 1934, which tells a story of a fictitious African child named Bambo. Tuwim's poem, which was said to have been written to promote tolerance toward other ethnicities during interwar Poland, is now seen by some as highly controversial, with critics accusing the author of perpetuating harmful racial stereotypes.
