From its beginnings as a sleepy subdivision started by a Michigan senator, it became a cultural mecca for Chicago's Polish community, playing a crucial role in Poland's struggles for independence. Many people from all over the world also called Avondale home, such as Scottish proprietors, African American freedmen, Irish activists, Swedish shopkeepers, German tradesmen, Jewish merchants, Filipino laborers, and Italian entrepreneurs; a diversity further enriched as many from the former Soviet Bloc and Latin America settled here. Avondale would be unrecognizable today from its humble origins, but the strong sense of community these neighbors have will never change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Kaplan, Daniel Pogorzelski, Rob Reid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146711118X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467111188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Jacob Kaplan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980443058431,"sku":"9781467111188","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da82ec97-ff8c-4c38-8985-2f0deb4a832e.jpg?v=1683249927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/avondale-and-chicagos-polish-village-jacob-kaplan-9781467111188","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
