Editorial Reviews

Review

Mary Erdmans has produced the most interesting and original analysis of contemporary Polonia. In the process, she brings insight and refinement to our understanding of immigrants and ethnics. For those seeking a more fundamental understanding of America s cultural pluralism, her book will be most welcome. --Stanislaus Blejwas, Central Connecticut State University

Erdman's work is the most comprehensive insightful and balanced account of the relationship between post-World War II Polish Immigrants and the Old Polonia yet published. --James S. Pula, Contemporary Sociology --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
