An Excellent Snapshot of Polish-American History.,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Polish Immigrants and Industrial Chicago: Workers on the South Side, 1880-1922 (Urban Life and Urban Landscape Series) (Hardcover)
If you've traced your Polish ancestors back to turn-of-the-century Chicago, You will find a lot of valuable insights on their experience by reading this book. The life of any new immigrant was never very easy in this country and Pacyga leads you through all of the hardships that these determined people faced. Unfortunately, Pacyga's focus shifts away from the immigrant towards the end of the book and he includes an in-depth history of Chicago's labor unions. Although the unions certainly affected the Polish immigrant's life, I thought that too much of the divergent chapters were off-subject. But, don't let that discourage you from reading it. There is real American history being told here.
