In the last, rootless decade families, neighborhoods, and communities have disintegrated in the face of gripping social, economic, and technological changes. Th is process has had mixed results. On the positive side, it has produced a mobile, volatile, and dynamic society in the United States that is perhaps more open, just, and creative than ever before. On the negative side, it has dissolved the glue that bound our society together and has destroyed many of the myths, symbols, values, and beliefs that provided social direction and purpose. In A History of the Polish Americans, John J. Bukowczyk provides a thorough account of the Polish experience in America and how some cultural bonds loosened, as well as the ways in which others persisted.
Scholarly study covering the period from 1608 to the present.
This is the fourth and final volume of the translation of Father Waclaw Kruszka's history of the Poles in the United States. Concentrating on the Polish settlements in the central states - Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas - and the far western states, Kruszka continues his study of the largest Slavic group of the turn-of-the-century immigration. The volume includes an extensive index of all volumes in the series.

The Polish American community has long been identified with three characteristics that the early immigrants brought with them to America, writes Pula: "an affection and concern for their ancestral homeland, a deep religious faith, and a sense of shared cultural values." Prominent among these values are family loyalty, a desire for property ownership, and pride in self-sufficiency.
