A well-researched ethnic history that traces the Polish experience from its European roots to the development of one of Cleveland?s largest immigrant communities. This 229-page monograph is part of the university?s Ethnic Heritage Studies series. It provides a clear, informative overview of Polish history and culture, the broader patterns of Polish immigration to America, and the specific story of Cleveland?s Polonia. The book is organized into three main sections: the history and culture of Poland (from early dynasties through the partitions), Polish immigration to the United States, and a detailed examination of the Polish community in Cleveland. Readers will learn about early settlements in the 1860s / 1870s, the growth of Polish neighborhoods tied to industry, the vital role of parishes and ethnic organizations, and the community?s contributions to the city?s development. It also discusses the peak years in the early 20th century and later changes as families moved to the suburbs. Ideal for anyone interested in Cleveland history, Polish-American heritage, or urban ethnic studies.…
