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: 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.

Download or read book Polish Detroit and the Kolasiński Affair written by Lawrence D. Orton and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 240 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: In the last, rootless decade families, neighborhoods, and communities have disintegrated in the face of gripping social, economic, and technological changes. This 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. Following a chronological format, Bukowczyk explains the historical reasons that led Polish people to come to America, the experience of the first wave of immigrants, the identity problem of second-generation Poles, and the kind of organizations and institutions that Polonia established in America. Throughout the author wrestles with the question faced by all immigrant groups: What does it mean to be a hyphenated American? And more specifically: What does it mean to be a Polish-American? "This is the best survey of Polish-American history yet published. comprehensive yet succinct, highly interpretive but readable, thought-provoking yet not shrill. skillfully weaves together elements of religion, ethnicity, and class. [T]his book should be the starting point for any reader who wishes to understand the four or five million Americans who claim a Polish heritage."--Edward R. Kantowicz, American Historical Review "[A History of the Polish Americans] is the best survey to date of the Polish experience in America. The readable style and profuse illustrations will appeal to students and the wealth of interpretation will stimulate the scholar"--William J. Galush, The Journal of American History John J. Bukowczyk is professor of history at Wayne State University. He is author or editor of four books and author of numerous journal articles. He is also editor of the Journal of American Ethnic History.

Download or read book Polish American History after 1939 written by Joanna Wojdon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second in a three-part, multi-authored study of Polish American history which aims to present the history of Polish Americans in the United States from the beginning of Polish presence on the continent to the current times, shown against a broad historical background of developments in Poland, the United States and other locations of the Polish Diaspora. According to the 2010 US Census, there are 9.5 million persons who identify themselves as Polish Americans in the United States, making them the eighth largest ethnic group in the country today. Polish Americans, or Polonia for short, has always been one of the largest immigrant and ethnic groups and the largest Slavic group in America. Despite that, common knowledge about its social and political life, culture and economy is still inadequate – in Academia and among the Polish Americans themselves. The book discusses the major themes in Polish American history, such as organizational life and the structure of the community facing subsequent waves of immigration from Poland, its leadership and political involvement in Polish and American affairs, as well as living and working conditions, and the everyday life of families and communities, their culture, ethnic identity and relations with the broadly understood American society, starting from the outbreak of World War 2 in Poland in September, 1939, and ending with the highlights of the 21st-century developments. It depicts Polish Americans’ transition from a ‘minority’ through ‘ethnic’ group to Americans who take pride in their symbolic ethnicity, maintained intentionally and manifested occasionally. This volume will be of great value to students and scholars alike interested in Polish and American History and Social and Cultural History.

Download or read book Poles in Michigan written by Dennis Badaczewski and published by Discovering the Peoples of Mic. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 78 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.
