The Polish Peasant in Europe and America: Organization and Disorganization in America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432641115)

The Polish Peasant In Europe And America: Organization And Disorganization In America is a sociological study written by William I. Thomas. The book examines the experiences of Polish immigrants who migrated from Europe to America in the early 20th century. The author explores the social and cultural differences between the two regions and how these differences impacted the lives of Polish immigrants in America. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the life of Polish peasants in Europe, their social and cultural practices, and their reasons for emigrating to America. The second part examines the experiences of Polish immigrants in America, including their struggles with assimilation, their relationships with other immigrant groups, and their efforts to maintain their cultural identity in a new and unfamiliar environment.Throughout the book, Thomas analyzes the social and economic factors that influenced the lives of Polish immigrants in America, including their experiences with discrimination and poverty. He also explores the ways in which Polish immigrants organized themselves and formed communities in America, as well as the factors that led to disorganization and social unrest.Overall, The Polish Peasant In Europe And America: Organization And Disorganization In America provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the experiences of Polish immigrants in America during the early 20th century. It offers a valuable perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by immigrants in a new and unfamiliar environment, and sheds light on the complex social and cultural dynamics that shape immigrant communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
