Book Synopsis Poles in Michigan by : Dennis Badaczewski
Download or read book Poles in Michigan written by Dennis Badaczewski and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most vibrant and influential ethnic groups in Michigan, Poles have a long history of migration and settlement in the Great Lakes State. From Michigan’s earliest Polish marriage (in 1762) to the most recent post-Cold War migrations, each successive wave of settlement has enriched and enlivened Michigan culture. Yet, Paczki Day and Polish festivals represent a relatively small portion of the Polish experience. Commitments both to religious and ethnic identity, and a belief in the American vision of landownership and success, have combined to create a mainstream ethnic community abundant in ethnic pride. Poles’ success in Michigan continues to attract Polish immigrants from Europe, just as Polonia continues to make its mark on Michigan’s culture.

Book Synopsis Neither German nor Pole by : James Bjork
Download or read book Neither German nor Pole written by James Bjork and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-12-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a fascinating local story with major implications for studies of nationalism and regional identities throughout Europe more generally." ---Dennis Sweeney, University of Alberta "James Bjork has produced a finely crafted, insightful, indeed, pathbreaking study of the interplay between religious and national identity in late nineteenth-century Central Europe." ---Anthony Steinhoff, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Neither German nor Pole examines how the inhabitants of one of Europe's most densely populated industrial districts managed to defy clear-cut national categorization, even in the heyday of nationalizing pressures at the turn of the twentieth century. As James E. Bjork argues, the "civic national" project of turning inhabitants of Upper Silesia into Germans and the "ethnic national" project of awakening them as Poles both enjoyed successes, but these often canceled one another out, exacerbating rather than eliminating doubts about people's national allegiances. In this deadlock, it was a different kind of identification---religion---that provided both the ideological framework and the social space for Upper Silesia to navigate between German and Polish orientations. A fine-grained, microhistorical study of how confessional politics and the daily rhythms of bilingual Roman Catholic religious practice subverted national identification, Neither German nor Pole moves beyond local history to address broad questions about the relationship between nationalism, religion, and modernity.

Download or read book Poletown written by Jeanie Wylie and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 4,200 residents of Detroit's "Poletown" community lost their homes in the 1980s when the neighborhood was razed to accommodate construction of a Cadillac plant on land where generations of Polish immigrants had lived, worked, and worshipped. Poletown is the story of the only group in Detroit to oppose the construction plan: the Poles and blacks who fought side by side to save their neighborhood, one of the city's oldest integrated communities. "This book is about the ramifications of raw corporate power going unchecked." -- John Conyers, Michigan congressman "Racial class is a fundamental problem in America. But Poletown demonstrates that economic class is even more fundamental." -- Rev. Jesse Jackson

Book Synopsis Managing Red Pine for Poles in Lower Michigan (Classic Reprint) by : Paul C. Guilkey
Download or read book Managing Red Pine for Poles in Lower Michigan (Classic Reprint) written by Paul C. Guilkey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Managing Red Pine for Poles in Lower Michigan One of the prerequisites for the successful management of red pine is a ready market for a variety of high value products. One such product with a potentially large and stable market is the red pine utility pole. While quality sawlogs may continue to be the most important primary product, the unit value of utility poles is higher than that of sawlogs and is second only to piling. In recent years both red pine and jack pine have been used for utility poles elsewhere in the Lake States but poles of these Species have not been produced or used in Lower Michigan. Some locally produced white-cedar is used, but the bulk of poles are pine imported from the South. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Poles in Illinois by : John Radzilowski
Download or read book Poles in Illinois written by John Radzilowski and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illinois boasts one of the most visible concentrations of Poles in the United States. Chicago is home to one of the largest Polish ethnic communities outside Poland itself. Yet no one has told the full story of our state’s large and varied Polish community—until now. Poles in Illinois is the first comprehensive history to trace the abundance and diversity of this ethnic group throughout the state from the 1800s to the present. Authors John Radzilowski and Ann Hetzel Gunkel look at family life among Polish immigrants, their role in the economic development of the state, the working conditions they experienced, and the development of their labor activism. Close-knit Polish American communities were often centered on parish churches but also focused on fraternal and social groups and cultural organizations. Polish Americans, including waves of political refugees during World War II and the Cold War, helped shape the history and culture of not only Chicago, the “capital” of Polish America, but also the rest of Illinois with their music, theater, literature, food. With forty-seven photographs and an ample number of extensive excerpts from first-person accounts and Polish newspaper articles, this captivating, highly readable book illustrates important and often overlooked stories of this ethnic group in Illinois and the changing nature of Polish ethnicity in the state over the past two hundred years. Illinoisans and Midwesterners celebrating their connections to Poland will treasure this rich and important part of the state’s history.

Book Synopsis Traitors and True Poles by : Karen Majewski
Download or read book Traitors and True Poles written by Karen Majewski and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During Poland’s century-long partition and in the interwar period of Poland's reemergence as a state, Polish writers on both sides of the ocean shared a preoccupation with national identity. Polish-American immigrant writers revealed their persistent, passionate engagement with these issues, as they used their work to define and consolidate an essentially transnational ethnic identity that was both tied to Poland and independent of it. By introducing these varied and forgotten works into the scholarly discussion, Traitors and True Poles recasts the literary landscape to include the immigrant community’s own competing visions of itself. The conversation between Polonia’s creative voices illustrates how immigrants manipulated often difficult economic, social, and political realities to provide a place for and a sense of themselves. What emerges is a fuller picture of American literature, one vital to the creation of an ethnic consciousness. This is the first extended look at Polish-language fiction written by turn-of-the-century immigrants, a forgotten body of American ethnic literature. Addressing a blind spot in our understanding of immigrant and ethnic identity and culture, Traitors and True Poles challenges perceptions of a silent and passive Polish immigration by giving back its literary voice.
