Title: Polish Americans and Their History
Description: Marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Polish American Historical Association, Polish Americans and Their History: Community, Culture, and Politics brings together the work of eight leading scholars to examine the history of Polish American working people, women and families, religion, and politics. The sweeping introduction traces the role of history and historiography in the evolution of Polish Americans as an ethnic group.

Essays explore the uncharted terrain of post World War II Polish emigration and attempt to reintegrate the history of Poland's Jewish emigrants into a Polish American history that until now has focused on Poles from the Roman Catholic tradition and its offshoots.

Featured in the volume is the last work of distinguished Polish historian, the late Andrzej Brozek, which discusses postwar Polish scholarship on Polish emigration to the United States, the first such critical review since the fall of Poland's communist government.
