DOWNLOAD EBOOKSeminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Paderborn, course: From Melting Pot to Quilt, 18 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The 'land of immigrants' or the 'melting pot' - as the United States of America are often called - where many different cultures meet and are combined with each other, is also the home for several million immigrants from East European countries, especially from Poland. Polish immigrants came to the USA in two larger immigration waves to pursue the same dreams all other immigrants had when coming to the New World, mainly to live a better life. This paper deals with Polish immigrants in the United States, their history, their original community around Chicago, and also with their identity they have kept in the foreign country until today. Firstly, I will give an overview on the American immigration issue, describing the development of immigration from the discovery of America until the beginning of the 20th century. This is followed by a short passage on the most famous entry point to the United States - Ellis Island. I will not go into further detail on immigration during and between the World Wars because this topic will be treated on the background of Polish immigration later on. However, a short overview on how the United States deals with immigration - and especially illegal immigration - in current times will be added. The two major immigration waves, which were already mentioned above, will be the topic of chapter three, in which the reasons for immigration, meaning the political and the economical context in Poland, will be described. The subsequent chapter deals with the city of Chicago, which is the place many Polish immigrants settled at and enlarged their families. In this context, I will portray the living and working conditions for Polish Immigrants in the 19th and 20th century, describe the Polish nationality and identity in t

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow did working-class immigrants from Poland create new communities in Chicago during the industrial age? This book explores the lives of immigrants in two iconic South Side Polish neighborhoods-the Back of the Yards and South Chicago-and the stockyards and steel mills in which they made their living. Pacyga shows how Poles forged communities on the South Side in an attempt to preserve the customs of their homeland; how through the development of churches, the building of schools, the founding of street gangs, and the opening of saloons they tried to recreate the feel of an Eastern European village. Through such institutions, Poles also were able to preserve their folk beliefs and family customs. But in time, the economic hardships of industrialization forced Poles to reach out to their non-Polish neighbors. And this led, in large part, to the organization of labor unions in Chicago's steel and meatpacking industries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPrimarily covering the emigrants between 1870 and World War I and their descendants, this is a concise treatment focusing on Polish-Americans' work and labor unions, values and religion, politics, and response to World War II and the Cold War. Statistical information pervades the narrative, which relates the common immigrant problems of being torn between old and new culture. World War II and the postwar mass consumption society tipped the scales to Americanization. The author deplores the lack of enthusiasm among Polish-Americans for Polish culture, faults white liberals for blaming Poles and other ethnics for racism, and resents anti-Polish stereotypes and the concomitant lack of concern about it by liberal groups. A lengthy, well-done bibliographic essay aids further study. Roger W. Fromm, Bloomsburg Univ. of Pennsylvania Lib.--from Library Journal. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
