Book excerpt: Zosia is a uniquely historical chronicle of the Industrial Revolution in Grafton as seen by immigrants, who powered its surge and enabled the prosperity that followed. The personal nature of this not-in-the-textbooks documentary lights up revealing windows through which most history students have no access.Author Stasia Obara Rawinski and editor Helen Rawinski Blazis have combined to weave an intricate tapestry that depicts the bleak agricultural conditions in Poland that led to immigration here and the vivid opportunities in industrial America that rewarded that risky, sometimes hazardous, and often frightful journey. In between, the writers create a complete picture of life transformed, often in starkly revealing detail. The burgeoning America that the writers reveal is both delightfully complex and as basic as kitchen tub-baths, and outhouses, repairing and recycling just about everything broken or worn-out. America is all this and more. Both Rawinski and Blazis fearlessly uncover it all in the unvarnished experiences of first and second generation American women, who encounter triumph and tragedy along the way. The history of Grafton is thus revealed under a new light.Readers may be particularly surprised by the often-brilliant resourcefulness and essential ingenuity required of the immigrants to survive and make their way initially without English, helpful connections, education, and money. Their self-reliance was incredible and so different from today's more affluent population which readily calls in specialists to take care of a host of basic tasks, that the modern world doesn't train them to perform.The immigrants emerge from this documentary as surprisingly noble in spirit, extremely patriotic to their new country, and willing to tirelessly work. In that regard, Zosia is a testament to the foundation of the American Spirit.

Download or read book Worcester County's Polish Community written by Barbara Proko and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polish settlement in Worcester County had humble beginnings: a small group of German Poles in the 1870s. Over the next decades, thousands of Russian and Austrian Poles, fleeing economic and political hardship, pinned their hopes for a better life on jobs in the burgeoning industries of central Massachusetts. Practicing their religion in their native tongue was vital to these devout Catholics. New England's first Polish parish was founded in Webster, with others following in Worcester, Gardner, West Warren, Clinton, Southbridge, and Dudley. Polish clubs served as central gathering places in Gilbertville, Uxbridge, and South Grafton. Worcester County's Polish Americans share an intricate web of relationships--family, religious, business, social, cultural, educational, political, and athletic--that celebrates their heritage and sustains them today as one of the region's largest ethnic groups.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at trends in North American internal migration. This volume gathers established and new scholars working on North American immigration, transmigration, internal migration, and citizenship whose work analyzes the development of migrant and state-level institutions as well as migrant networks. With contemporary migration research most often focused on the development of transnational communities and the ways international migrants maintain relationships with their sending region that sustain the circularflow of people, ideas, and traditions across national boundaries it is useful to compare these to similar patterns evident within the terrain of internal migration. To date, however, international and internal migration studies have unfolded in relative isolation from one another with each operating within these distinct fields of expertise rather than across them. Although there has been some important linking, there has not been a recent major consideration of human migration that works across and within the various borders of the North American continent. Thus, the volume presents a variety of chapters that seek to consider human migration in comparative perspective across the internal/international divide. Marc S. Rodriguez is Assistant Professor of History at Princeton University; Donna R. Gabbaccia is the Mellon Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh; James R. Grossman is theVice President of Research and Education at the Newberry Library, Chicago.
