Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Polish is no joke. For ten million people of Polish ancestry in the United States, as well as many who have settled in the UK since the fall of communism, it is a heartfelt matter -- and amid all the travel guides and guides to Polish language, folklore, and customs, there is no single, comprehensive, reader-friendly and yet ever-informative reference on what it means to be Polish. Enter The Essential Guide to Being Polish -- the go-to concise resource for anyone looking to reconnect with their culture or, indeed, hoping that their friends, children, or colleagues learn something about their heritage. Divided into three sections to make for an easy-to-follow format -- Poland in Context, Poles in Poland, and Poles Abroad -- this guide covers just about everything and does so in a style that is at once entertaining and informative: the country's history and geography, wars, Jews in Poland, the communist past, the post-communist past and present, language, kings and queens, religion/Catholicism (with special focus on Pope John Paul II), holidays, food, and drink. What is a real Polish wedding all about? That, too, is addressed succinctly and with flair in this guide. Other chapters cover literature, music, art, famous scientists, Polish men and Polish women, Poles in America, Poles in the UK, Poles and the EU, and last but not least, Polish pride. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know why December 24th is the most important day of the year on the Polish calendar? Or why many Poles celebrate their nameday rather than their birthday? Why are newlyweds always welcomed with bread and salt? If you want to embrace your Polish heritage, this how-to guide will serve as a mini-encyclopedia of Polish traditions. You'll find the history of numerous holidays and customs together with step-by-step instructions on how to incorporate them into your everyday life. Celebrating Your Polish Heritage is divided into three sections: Calendar of Polish Festivities; Polish rites of Passage; and Background, Ideas, and Resources. Religious and secular celebrations and milestones are given historical context and their modern-day practice. You'll find poems, song lyrics, blessings, greetings, baby names, etiquette and numerous lists of resources. This guide makes a wonderful gift for younger Polish Americans seeking to reconnect with their family's heritage, or as a reference for your Polish-interest library. Robert Strybel was born in Hamtramck, Michigan, Detroit's once predominantly Polish suburb. He received a master's degree in Polish studies from the University of Wisconsin, and taught Polish language and history courses before moving to Warsaw, Poland. He spent more than three decades there as a correspondent for the Polish-American press, and for 33 years worked for Reuters News agency. Over the last 40 years, he has answered thousands of letters and e-mails about every imaginable Polish-interest topic and still regularly writes an "Ask our Man in Warsaw" column for the Am-Pol Eagle. With his Polish-born wife, Maria, he co-authored Polish Heritage Cookery and Polish Holiday Cookery, both published by Hippocrene Books.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the customs and traditions found herein are extinct even in today's Poland. World wars, massive immigration, the loss of the oral tradition, urbanization and politics have changed the face of a once agrarian people and their accompanying life style. In the U.S., the desire for membership within the "melting pot," marriages outside one's ethnic group, movement to the suburbs away from the "old" communities where customs and traditions were once strong, further weakened the link. Although the purpose and meaning may have been lost and forgotten, the oczepiny ceremony (the unveiling) is still the mainstay of almost every wedding where the bride declares Polish heritage.
