Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reverend Dominik Kolasiński (1838-1898) left Detroit an enduring legacy in St. Albertus's and Sweetest Heart of Mary's, two of the city's most magnificent churches, but his ecclesiastical career was turbulent and controversial. Because he believed that he had been unjustly suspended as a pastor of St. Albertus's, Kolasiński undertook a successful struggle for vindication and reinstatement which caused almost a decade of turmoil in the Polish immigrant community. Loved by many and despised by some, Father Kolasiński through his activities focused public attention on the new Polish Americans and their way of life, as well as on the sometimes strained relationship between the Polish Roman Catholic parishes and the non-Polish diocesan authorities. Lawrence D. Orton, making extensive use of the accounts in contemporary newspapers, tells the story of what came to be known as the Kolansiński Affair with insight and objectivity. He also includes a detialed survey of the beginnings, expansion, and consolidation of Detroit's Polish community in the nineteenth century, paying particular attention to the attitudes and perceptions of "native" Detroiters. His study attests to the peasant immigrants' efforts to maintain their own traditions in an urban and sometimes hostile environment and to their establishment of religious and cultural institutions that facilitated their adjustment to their new lives. Profusely illustrated with contemporary drawings, photographs, and a map of the nineteenth-century Polish quarter, this volume makes a substantial contribution both to the history of Detroit and to the history of Poles in the United States. -- from dust jacket.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a century has passed since the first Poles settled in Detroit. The first communities were established on the east side of Detroit, but the colony expanded rapidly to the west neighborhoods, and Poles in Detroit still identify themselves as East- or Westsiders. The pioneers left Poland for freedom of language and religion, and to own property. They replicated village life in the big city, living in close-knit neighborhoods anchored by the parish church. Polish immigrants made cigars, built railroad cars, molded stoves, established businesses and breweries, and moved into the political arena. The struggles and triumphs of these early settlers are on display in the pages of Detroit Polonia, a photographic history that links future generations with their Polish heritage.

Download or read book Paczki Day written by Bob Dombrowski and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a mix of stories about growing up in Detroit, going to Catholic school, and the Polish people in the fifties and sixties. The author tried his best to present everything in this book accurately despite not having a research staff like the famous writers have. He only had himself, his computer, his memory, a big pile of books, and note cards that he painstakingly used to put this story together. As a fireman, one of the things the author learned was that it takes three things to make a fire: air, fuel, and heat. Remove one, and you can't have a fire. He believes that it takes three things to make everything. Similar to making fire, there are three things that it took to make this book: the city of Detroit, the Catholic Church, and Polish ancestry. If you have one or two or maybe all three of these things, you may like this story. So if your mom wore a babushka, if nostrovia is your toast, if you had a last name that kids made fun of, or if you grew up reading your catechism while looking at church steeples and smokestacks, maybe this book is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last, rootless decade families, neighborhoods, and communities have disintegrated in the face of gripping social, economic, and technological changes. Th is process has had mixed results. On the positive side, it has produced a mobile, volatile, and dynamic society in the United States that is perhaps more open, just, and creative than ever before. On the negative side, it has dissolved the glue that bound our society together and has destroyed many of the myths, symbols, values, and beliefs that provided social direction and purpose. In A History of the Polish Americans, John J. Bukowczyk provides a thorough account of the Polish experience in America and how some cultural bonds loosened, as well as the ways in which others persisted.
