{"product_id":"polish-community-of-new-britain-jonathan-shea-9781531622275","title":"Polish Community of New Britain","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Shea, Barbara Proko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531622275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531622275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Jonathan Shea","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936706003199,"sku":"9781531622275","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f07df905-08c1-4048-8f97-7107a2aa2621.jpg?v=1681426386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/polish-community-of-new-britain-jonathan-shea-9781531622275","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
