Description: "The Exile Mission explores the interactions between two distinct Polish immigrant groups: those Polish Americans who were descendents of economic immigrants from the turn of the twentieth century, and Polish political refugees forced into exile after World war II and the communist takeover in Poland. The two groups differed in many important ways, which often caused tension within the Polish-American community."--BOOK JACKET.
