Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Factory jobs in "the Hardware City of the World" began attracting Polish immigrants to New Britain in the 1890s. The Poles soon became the city's largest ethnic group, centering their family, business, social, cultural, and spiritual life on Broad Street. Their Polonia was unparalleled in New England. Three parishes and dozens of organizations shared a strong commitment to Polish education, military service, political representation, and "Dozynki" and "Dzien Zaduszny" traditions. Continuing waves of immigration contributed to Polonia's ceaseless self-renewal. The Polish Community of New Britain celebrates this magnetic vitality and cultural continuity with rare photographs drawn from family albums and local archives.

Download or read book On the Edges of Whiteness written by Jochen Lingelbach and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1942 to 1950, nearly twenty thousand Poles found refuge from the horrors of war-torn Europe in camps within Britain’s African colonies, including Uganda, Tanganyika, Kenya and Northern and Southern Rhodesia. On the Edges of Whiteness tells their improbable story, tracing the manifold, complex relationships that developed among refugees, their British administrators, and their African neighbors. While intervening in key historical debates across academic disciplines, this book also gives an accessible and memorable account of survival and dramatic cultural dislocation against the backdrop of global conflict.

Download or read book Polish Migration to the UK in the 'New' European Union written by Kathy Burrell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 2004 enlargement of the European Union over half a million Polish migrants have registered to work in the United Kingdom, constituting one of the largest migration movements in contemporary Europe. Drawing on research undertaken across a wide range of disciplines - history, economics, sociology, anthropology, film studies and discourse analysis - and focusing on both the Polish and British aspects of this phenomenon - both emigration and immigration - this edited collection investigates what is actually new about this migration flow, what its causes and consequences are, and how these migrants' lives have changed by moving to the United Kingdom. As the first book to deal with Polish migration to the United Kingdom, Polish Migration to the UK in the 'New' European Union will appeal to scholars across a range of social sciences, whose work concerns migration and the migration process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume explores the historical, cultural and literary legacies of Polish Britain, and their significance for both the British and Polish nations. The focus of the book is twofold. First, it investigates the history of Polish immigration and the ways in which Polish immigrants have conceptualised their own experiences and encounters with Britain and the British. Second, it examines how Poles and Poland have been represented by Anglophone writers in both fictional and non-fictional forms of discourse. Inevitably, these issues are intertwined. Polish experiences of Britain have been shaped, in part, by British ideas about Poland, just as British notions of Poland have been transformed by the emergence of large and culturally active Polish communities in the UK. By studying these issues together, this volume develops a wide-ranging and original analysis of Polish Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second-Rate Citizens or Britain through the Eyes of Polish Immigrants is a true page-turner. The authors have shown tremendous powers of observation while describing a number of work situations and behaviours. Their stories give a considerable insight into the lives of immigrants struggling to survive in the UK, and at the same time break the stereotype, held by many continental Europeans, about the British being warm and friendly towards foreigners. Like many other citizens of the former Communist Bloc seeking employment that would earn them a decent living in the UK, the authors believed in the assurances of British head-hunters about the law-abidingness and high culture of the British. Meanwhile, what they encountered was parochial attitudes, xenophobia, sloppiness and cunning which they would never have suspected to experience in Britain. Many an immigrant paid a high price for the so-called better life. By revealing facts, often hidden from family and friends, about the treatment of foreign citizens working in the UK, the book lays bare the true nature of the British and stimulates reflection. The careful reader will think twice whether it really makes sense for anyone to swap their dignity for a flat and a slightly better standard of living. The stories described here could well be turned into a TV serial about foreigners living and working in Britain and also, in a broader context, about different attitudes of the British, and the changes undergone by the immigrants. Let us hope that this book will become the first step in the process of demythologizing the "amazing" British, and that there will be more books which will allow the British to take a more careful look at their behaviours and draw the right conclusions. Do read this book.

Download or read book London's Polish Borders written by Michal P. Garapich and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The figure of the Polish plumber or builder has long been a well-established icon of the British national imagination, uncovering the UK's collective unease with immigration from Central and Eastern Europe. But despite the powerful impact the UK's second largest language group has had on their host country's culture and politics, very little is known about its members. This painstakingly researched book offers a broad perspective on Polish migrants in the UK, taking into account discursive actions, policies, family connections, transnational networks, and political engagement of the diaspora. Born out of a decade of ethnographic studies among various communities of Polish nationals living in London, Michal P. Garapich documents the changes affecting both Polish migrants and British society, offering insight into the inner tensions and struggles within what is often assumed to be a uniform and homogeneous category. From Polish financial sector workers to the Polish homeless population, this groundbreaking book provides a street-level account of cultural and social determinants of Polish migrants as they continually rework their relation to class and ethnicity.

Download or read book Polish Return Migration after Brexit written by Marek Wodawski and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the attitudes of Polish migrants towards the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union and considers possible return migration trajectories that may result. Based on quantitative sociological research conducted in Britain, it investigates the perceptions of Polish people in Britain and asks what they consider the likely consequences of Brexit to be for their personal, family, and professional lives, the central question being the dilemma of whether to remain abroad or return to Poland. A multifaceted approach to understanding the views of a significant migrant group when presented with considerable social and economic changes, Polish Return Migration after Brexit also offers forecasts of likely outcomes for institutions involved with Polish migrants and employers in Poland. It will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology and geography with interests in migration and diaspora studies, as well as to those working in the field of migration policy.
