Opis:
After his arrival to the U.S. and first years in New York, Kazimierz Żychliński moved to Chicago where he became involved in the Falcons movement and co-created the Polish Falcons Alliance in America. He was the president of the organization between 1894 and 1899. In the twentieth century he started a career as an officer in the Polish National Alliance, and in 1912 he was elected the president of PNA. He served on this post until his death in 1927. Thus, Żychliński became one of the most prominent figures of American Polonia and had an impact on Polonia politics. The article quotes his various statements and comments on the relations between the Polish diaspora and the II Polish Republic, aid for Poland, Polish-Jewish relations in America, and Polonia's internal politics, particularly from the period 1918-1922.

The Warsaw Uprising of August to October 1944 is a most appropriate subject given the impending 60th anniversary observance of this heroic and tragic occurrence. Our panel affords us with the opportunity to discuss and to reflect on this event, which in many ways embodies so much of the larger story of modern Poland. Our discussion occurs also at a time when we recall many other events of 1944, a climactic year in World War II. June 6 marks the 60th anniversary of the successful and massive Allied military invasion of France in Normandy. This victory was the decisive military achievement of the United States of America and its allies against Nazi Germany on the western front.

Opis:
Bowling played a key role in community life among Polish Americans in Milwaukee during the first half of the 20th century. This working-class pastime was uniquely suited to industrial Milwaukee, which long held the reputation as “America’s bowling capital,” and the Polonia of the city accounted for a dominant share of its bowling public, focused for the most part in alleys within taverns on the Polish “South Side.” The locally-based Polish American Bowling Association attempted to unite Polish American bowling nationwide under its leadership. The bowling culture of Polish Milwaukee came to an end by mid-century, linked with larger social phenomena such as suburbanization and ethnic succession in what had been traditional ethnic urban neighborhoods.

Opis:
The modern Civil Rights Movement in the United States was successful in addressing long-standing inequities in political, economic, and other civil rights for African Americans and prompted similar changes for other minority groups. Yet, one of the unintended consequences of the interpretation of the civil rights legislation enacted by Congress was that the federal government began classifying people by race so as to determine whether they merited protection under the new laws. This article examines the process created by U. S. government agencies to determine whether the new civil rights laws had been violated, the way in which the legislation was interpreted in the judicial system, and the consequences for Americans of Eastern and Southern European heritage.

Opis:
Artykuł oparty jest o wywiady, przeprowadzone w 2014 r. w Chicago z trzema Amerykankami polskiego pochodzenia: Christine Long, Marią Cieślą i Lucyną Migałą. Wszystkie one wychowały się po II wojnie światowej w rodzinach polskich imigrantów. Każda z nich odniosła sukces zawodowy, choć pojęcie to może mieć różne znaczenie przypadku każdej z nich. Ch. Long organizowała kampanie wyborcze demokratycznych kandydatów na burmistrza Chicago i pomagała przy organizacji kampanii Komitetu Obywatelskiego w Polsce w 1989 r. Następnie pracowała dla Tadeusza Mazowieckiego w czasie jego kampanii prezydenckiej w 1991 r. M. Cieśla aktywnie działała w Legionie Młodych Polek w Chicago, a następnie została prezeską Muzeum Polskiego w Ameryce. L. Migała założyła i przez wiele lat prowadzi zawodowy polonijny zespół śpiewaczy „Lira Ensemble”. W wywiadach przedstawiają swoje dzieciństwo, kształtowanie tożsamości: polskiej, amerykańskiej lub polonijnej, swoje relacje z rodzicami, rodzeństwem, kolegami ze szkoły, a także z działaczami polonijnymi, w tym z „niezłomnymi” z pokolenia emigracji wojennej i powojennej, a wreszcie z własnymi dziećmi (obserwując proces ich amerykanizacji). Komentują życie polonijne w Chicago, stosunki wewnątrz Polonii i między Polonią a Polską, często z perspektywy bardzo osobistej, odnoszą się do przyczyn rozmaitych problemów, z którymi przyszło im się zmierzyć w życiu prywatnym i zawodowym. Artykuł konfrontuje opowieści bohaterek z bardziej ogólnymi kwestiami powojennych dziejów Polonii amerykańskiej, a także odnosi się do koncepcji polonijnego sukcesu.
The article is based on the interviews conducted in 2014 in Chicago with three Polish American women: Christine Long, Maria Cieśla and Lucyna Migała. Each of them was raised in a family of the Polish immigrants after the Second World War. Each of them succeeded in her professional career though the word success may have a different meaning in each case. Long organized election campaigns for the Democratic candidates in Chicago and helped organizing the 1989 campaign of the Citizens’ Committee (Komitet Obywatelski) in Poland. Then she worked for Tadeusz Mazowiecki during his presidential campaign of 1991. Cieśla was active in the Legion of Young Polish Women in Chicago and later became a president of the Polish Museum of America. Migała has founded The Lira Ensemble, a professional Polish American signing ensemble. In their oral histories they presented their childhoods, their striving for identity: Polish or American, or Polish-American, and their relations with parents, siblings, schoolmates, with the Polish American activists, including the “steadfast” of the World War II and post-war immigration, and eventually with their own children (observing the process of Americanization). They comment on the Polish American life in Chicago, on the relations within the Polish group and with the country of their ancestors, often from their personal perspective, and reflect on the reasons of various problems they had to face in their private lives and professional careers. The article confronts their stories with some larger issues of the post-World War II Polish American history and discusses the idea of the Polish American success.

Opis:
Artykuł ma zwrócić uwagę czytelnika na dokonania jednostek, którym przyszło żyć podczas jednej z największych fal migracyjnych z ziem polskich do Ameryki. Przykład działalności księdza Wincentego Barzyńskiego i jego brata Jana wskazuje na fenomen zaangażowania się w pomoc tysiącom rodaków w zaadoptowaniu się w Nowym Świecie. Obaj okazjonalnie i planowo pozyskiwali spore pieniądze. Jan Barzyński stał się człowiekiem zamożnym. Ksiądz Wincenty Barzyński – jeden z filarów zakonu zmartwychwstańców, dysponując sporymi finansami, z czasem miał też coraz większe możliwości organizacyjne, m.in. prowadzenie parafii i szkół, z wyższymi włącznie. Misja Barzyńskich miała wartość nie do przecenienia. Stworzyła podwaliny służące zjednoczeniu Polonii, zbudowaniu dobrze prosperującej organizacji samopomocowej Zjednoczenie Polskie Rzymsko-Katolickie. Jednocześnie ich działalność rozpoczęła niezwykłą historię prasy polskiej w Ameryce i wpisała do wspólnej historii obu narodów – Amerykanów i Polaków – szczególne wartości, poprzez znaczne rozpowszechnienie na terytorium USA polskich parafii i wyznania katolickiego. Pieniądze, które w wyniku swej działalności zarobili, posłużyły budowaniu nowych struktur organizacyjnych i społecznych polsko- amerykańskiej diaspory.
The paper’s objective is to draw the reader's attention to the achievements of individuals who lived during one of the largest waves of migration from the Polish lands to America. The example of the activities of Rev. Wincenty Barzyński and his brother Jan illustrates the phenomenon of their involvement in helping thousands of compatriots to adjust to the conditions of the New World. They both raised a lot of money, occasionally and on schedule. Jan Barzyński became a wealthy man, while Rev. Wincenty Barzyński, one of the pillars of the Order of Resurrectionists, having at his disposal considerable amounts of money, with time  also had more and more organizational possibilities, including the establishment and management of parishes and schools (also schools of higher education). The Barzyński brothers’ mission was of inestimable value. It laid the foundation for the unification of the Polish community, building the Polish Roman Catholic Union, a thriving self-assistance organization.  At the same time, their activities initiated the remarkable story of the Polish press in America and introduced special values into the joint history of Americans and Poles. They also played a major role in the establishment of many Polish Catholic parishes in the US territories. The money they earned as a result of their activities served to build new organizational and social structures of the Polish-American diaspora.

Opis:
Liga Polskich Rodzin (League of Polish Families) had two points of view toward policy of the United States of America. On the one hand leaders of party thought, that alliance with the USA should be one of the most important principles of Polish foreign policy. Theirs attitude was connected with conviction, that partnership and good relations with American power Poland could protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity in opposite German revisionism and Russian aspiration for rebuilding former political influence in Eastern Europe. Another reason conceptions for Polish- -American cooperation was conviction, that this alliance let Poland receive more economical benefits from the USA than through integration with European Union. The United States of America might be better alternative for economical and social development of Polish country than EU, because, according to attitude of LPR, American power always helps its allies, without forcing on them its diktat in internal and foreign policy. Third reason of pro-American point of view in political thought of LPR was hope, that position main American ally in continental part of Europe could let Poland become one of the more important countries in this part of the world or obtain more better conditions during negotiation with EU. On the other hand leaders of LPR knew, that more of them ideas was wishful thinking, which not to be connected with reality and main targets of American foreign policy. As a proof for it showed bad treatment of Poland and Polish citizens by the USA and disregarding interests of Polish state. These activities would be using Polish military forces in operations in Afganistan and Iraq without any compensations, for example financial help, political support in different international troubles or liquidation visa for Polish citizens. Declared ideas of Polish-American cooperation was mixed with critics policy of the USA, but LPR always stood on position supporting American power, thinking, that alliance with them was more belter solution than integrity with EU.

Polish-American cultural heritage in Orchard Lake: archives

and museums Polonia
Opis:
The Archives of the Orchard Lake Schools consists of documents from the Polish Seminary which was opened in Detroit in December 1885. These collections were enlarged as the years passed, especially when the Seminary was relocated to Orchard Lake in 1909. The main roles of this part of the Archives are as follows: a) collecting and preserving documents and photographs of the three schools which comprise the Orchard Lake Schools ( SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary, St. Mary’s College and St. Mary’s Preparatory School) and of its Centers (the Pope John Paul II Center, the Polish American Liturgical Center, Center for Polish Studies and Culture, and the Center for Pastoral Studies; and b) collecting biographical material about students and faculty. The archives of American Polonia and Polonia in other countries contains a variety of material generated both here and abroad. This large collection was catalogued in four major groups: 1. Political immigration; 2. Economic immigration; 3. State by state geographical immigration; and 4. Past and present statistics of immigration. The groupings reflect the culture and history of Polonia. Polish parishes played a very important role in the life of Polish immigrants. They were dynamic centers. Documents from Polish parishes form the largest collection in the Archives. In these documents we find jubilee books parishes; jubilee books of priests; jubilee books of parish associations. There is also a very large collection of photographs of churches, priests, schools, banquets; parish lay activities, and parish life such as processions, traditions, and organizations. These organizations always have been very important in the life of Polonia. The Archives has many sources for the history of Polish organizations. However, we can say that the Archives has documentation of about 1000 organizations. Interest in biographies of lay and religious activists and also outstanding Polish activists led to creating a special category of biographical materials. The biography section is catalogued in alphabetical order. Another special category contains Polish bishops and priests. Polish newspapers remain a primary source for scientific research. The Archives has 2000 titles of Polish newspapers published in the United States and countries other than Poland. There are 2500 titles of newspapers published in Poland. In the years 1978-2008 was organized the following archives, museums and libraries: The Museum of Fr. Józef Dąbrowski. This Museum contains material concerning the founder of the of the Polish Seminary, Fr. Józef Dąbrowski, rectors, professors, and students; Museum of the Polish Army Second Corps. The Archive consists of documentation of personal acts of soldiers from the Second Corps. Folders contain identity cards, letters, diplomas, distinctions, correspondence and pictures from the battlefield; Archive and Museum of the Polish Army Veterans’ Association of America. The Archive owns a great number of diverse reports and minutes from sessions of the Society’s directors and plenary meetings of the board of the Society of Polish Army Veterans in America; Archive and Museum of Polonia Radio and TV. Material donated during the past ten years by Polonia radio stations from Boston, Chicago, and New York. The collection of Rev. Msgr. A. Rojek consists mostly of recordings of the TV program „Winds from Poland”; Archive, Library, and Museum of the First Polish Armored Division. The Museum consists of sections: I Polish Tank Division, the Voluntary Polish Army in Canada, and Women Soldiers AK. Each section has its own archive, library, and collection; Archive, Library, and Museum of the Polish Home Army AK. It contains a serious collection of original documents, printing, maps, and pictures; Archive, Library, and Museum of the Polish Air Force. This collection is composed of reports and minutes of air force groups. Personal folders are filled with identification cards, photographs, and various documents; Museum of the Singers Alliance of America-Circuit 4. The material pertainso three choirs, which exist in the Detroit area: Choir Lutnia, Choir Filaret, and Choir Polonez; Museum of the Polish National Alliance. This Museum contains the entire collection of A. Mazewski, along-time chairman of the Polish American Congress, and the Polish National Alliance; Dr.Loda and Edward C. Różański Collection. This collection contains documents and materials concerning the Różański family, the Polish National Alliance, the Polish American Congress, trade union publications; Museum of the Polish Association of Former Prisoners of German and Soviet Concentration Camps. The archive contains documents of actions that were undertaken by the Association in order to help all former prisoners of German and Soviet camps gain legal status; Archive and Museum of the Catholic League for Religious Assistance to Poland. Bishop A. Abramowicz from Chicago, served as executive director of the League for many years, and it is evident by the massive amount of materials, photographs, illustrations and file cabinets of records he donated for this collection. The Polish American Archives of the Orchard Lake Schools serves a humble role as a research center for the studies of Polonia. It serves for Polonia as an American Poland. It is an historical heritage of Polonia.

Opis:
Dagmara Dominczyk’s The Lullaby of Polish Girls mirrors her own experience as a Polish émigré of the early 1980s and touches upon the myriad stages of exile. Similarly to other American writers of Polish descent (e.g. Leslie Pietrzyk, Karolina Waclawiak or Anthony Bukoski), the writer’s debut novel explores the problematic questions of immigrant’s assimilation, desire for acceptance or one’s ties to the home country. But above all, Grażyna Kozaczka notices that “[the literary work] offers an additional option opened to Polish American fiction writers”, because the main character of the book, Anna Baran, is able to embrace both: Polish and American culture and claims two homelands as her own. Whether the protagonist is completely free from immigrant-homelessness or not, seems to be a thought-provoking matter as it seems that Dominczyk’s protagonist is engrossed in the yearning desire to return to the country of her forefathers; i.e. to Poland in general and Kielce in particular. However, the city of her birth and simultaneously the place where she spent her summer holidays, which is aptly described by the author of the novel in the moment of transition (as communist Poland of the late 1980s alters into a democratic country) belongs to the sphere of her memory and a real return to the past time is not possible. Therefore, the aim of the present paper is to shed some light upon the issues of identity, questions of belonging and nostalgic allegiance in Dominczyk’s novel The Lullaby of Polish Girls.

Opis:
Unlike most of the immigration novels created by contemporary Polish American female writers, How to Get into the Twin Palms written by Karolina Waclawiak, does not focus on the hardships of assimilation into American culture but depicts experiments with ethnic cross-dressing. Waclawiak, a representative of the so-called one-and-a half generation of Polish immigrants from the 1980s Solidarity wave, reinvents the immigration story as her protagonist, Zosia, a Polish American resident of Los Angeles, yearns to become Russian in order to be granted entrance to the mysterious and appealing Russian nightclub. The protagonist’s transformation into Anya goes hand in hand with her exploration of the City of Angels, the postmodern megalopolis with neon lights and pavements reaching the horizon. Thus, Zosia/Anya becomes a Californian flâneuse, the urban scrutinizer and strolling observer of the what is known as the most photographed but least photogenic city in the United States. In this context, the main aim of this presentation will be to explore Californian flânerie in Waclawiak’s novel: while walking down the city streets the narrator flâneuse reflects on her home (Polish) culture, underscores her status as an immigrant outsider, and delves into the questions of alienation as well as defamiliarization. Hence, one may assume that flânerie itself contributes to the transformation of Waclawiak’s protagonist.
W odróżnieniu do większości powieści imigracyjnych tworzonych przez współczesne pisarki polsko-amerykańskie How to Get into the Twin Palms Karoliny Waclawiak nie koncentruje się na kwestiach dotyczących asymilacji z kulturą amerykańską, ale opisuje doświadczenia związane z etnicznym crossdressingiem. Waclawiak, przedstawicielka tzw. pokolenia półtora – polskich imigrantów z fali Solidarności lat 80., rewolucjonizuje narrację emigracyjną, ukazując losy Zosi – mieszkającej w Los Angeles Amerykanki polskiego pochodzenia, która pragnie stać się Rosjanką. Dziewczyna chciałaby otrzymać bilet wstępu do tajemniczego i pociągającego rosyjskiego klubu nocnego. Przemiana bohaterki w Anyę idzie w parze z jej eksploracją Miasta Aniołów, postmodernistycznego megalopolis neonów i sięgających po horyzont chodników. W ten sposób Zosia/Anya staje się kalifornijską flâneuse, obserwatorką miasta określanego jako najczęściej fotografowane, lecz najmniej fotogeniczne w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Głównym celem artykułu jest zbadanie kalifornijskiej flânerie ukazanej w powieści Waclawiak. Spacerując ulicami miasta, narratorka-flâneuse zastanawia się nad rodzimą (polską) kulturą, podkreśla swój status imigranckiego outsidera, zagłębia się w kwestie obcości i defamiliaryzacji. Można więc przyjąć, że sama flânerie przyczynia się do przemiany bohaterki Waclawiak.

Opis:
The article presents the image of Polish Americans in the Polish press after 1989. It is a continuation of the Author’s previous research pertaining to the Polish press under the communist regime, published in the Polish American Studies. The text is based on an analysis of several hundred articles from: the Polish press addressed to general public, mostly weeklies indexed in Bibliografia Zawartości Czasopism by the National Library in Warsaw; two main Polish dailies, Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita – their full-text archival databases; and from selected weeklies that index and publish their archival issues. The article is organized in three main sections: Polonia and Poland (or Polonia for Poland), Polonia in the USA, and Poland for Polonia. Polonia for Poland occupies the largest part of the text, proportionally to the attention paid by the journalists who presented Polish American aid for Poland, especially charitable activities, sponsoring of Polish monuments and events, athletes and other people. Polonian businesses with Poland are also described. Polish American political actions for Poland are dominated by the NATO enlargement campaign, but other problems, e.g. visa waiver projects, are also mentioned. Polonia in the USA reflects on the discussions on the old issue of the position of the Polish American ethnic group in the mainstream American society and its political actions, some internal conflicts within Polonia, especially those related to Edward Moskal, and some Polish American activities in the USA (or the lack thereof), including anti-defamation. Poland for Polonia presents controversies on the Polonian-Polish relations, dating back to the pre-WWII period. One of the aims of the article was to compare the image of Polish Americans presented after 1989 with the one influenced by the propaganda of ‘People’s Poland’. It turns out that some paradigms outlived the collapse of the communist regime, e.g. the myth of a rich uncle from America, the stereotype of uneducated Polish American masses, and the image of a hard and primitive life of new immigrants. Others have been revised, however: Polish American efforts for Poland are more often appreciated than criticized, Americanization of the Polish ethnic group is not lamented and opportunities of life in the USA seem to dominate difficulties. After large interest of the Polish press in the American Polonia presented at the beginning of the 1990s, one can observe its decline, especially after the end of the NATO-enlargement campaign.

Opis:
Following the spatial turn in cultural studies, ethnic space is understood as a cultural category, constructed by discourse and determined by capital, within which people create their own narratives. This essay explores the construction of ethnic space and identity in the phenomenon of the Polish American polka music festival. Framed by the attention to the process of “production of space” (Lefebvre 1991), the essay presumes that new conceptualizations of spatiality assume space is no longer treated as something given, a pre-existing territory, or locale. The case study of the ethnic music festival is an ideal place for examining the invention of place, because it is not located in a fixed space, but in a movable community traveling from festival to festival. The polka festival circuit is attended by a core community of polka boosters, many of whom travel from event to event in vacation motor homes, with attendees setting up "neighborhoods" of motor homes that include front lawns, outdoor kitchens, and "streets." Most bring lawn signs, street signs, flags and other public signs of Polish American identity, recreating-this essay argues-the urban ethnic neighborhood of previous immigrant generations. Polish American ethnic identity for this group of participants is located and recreated in an imagined community that it creates, dismantles, moves and recreates in a mobile spatiality of ethnic belonging.The paper explores the moveable and mutable production of ethnic space arguing that the traditional aspects of nineteenth century village, reimagined in the twentieth century Polonian neighborhood are now recreated anew in twenty-first century polka festival culture: the village, the church, the parochial school, the tavern, the neighborhood economy and the kitchen are creatively refashioned in this mobile ethnic community.Recent scholarship on Polish American polka has argued that contrary to popular stereotype, polka is innovative hybrid alternative music and, furthermore, that preserving polka's history is an important, but often overlooked, part of preserving American multicultural history (Gunkel 2006, 5-8). This project continues that research by providing this spatially-framed study of the phenomenon of the seasonal polka festival. Over a period of five years, I visited polka festivals in North America as a participant observer, documenting the social and cultural landscape of these gatherings of polka people. This essay traces the nature of imagined community in Polish American polka festivals-understood as a diasporic ethnoscape–exploring the construction of ethnic space in the twenty-first century.

Opis:
: Reforms implemented in recent years by the Polish government of Law and Justice party are described as a manifestation of democratic backsliding. Changes in the judiciary and the media are seen as the main signs of departing from the basic values of liberal democracy and the rule of law. They met with strong international criticism, mainly from the institutions of the European Union and Western European countries. These changes are also observed with concern in the United States, but so far the US reaction has been moderate. This was primarily due to the limited interest of President Donald Trump’s administration in promoting democracy. Later, this issue has been overshadowed by the destabilization of military security in the region. Anyway, the US reaction to the deviation of the Polish authorities from the principles of the democratic state of law must be decisive, but also constructive, based on dialogue, cooperation, clear criteria and a joint search for solutions. First of all, it must not violate the American security guarantees towards Poland.

Contribution to the history of the 58th New York Volunteers Regiment – Polish Legion Recently we may witness, both in Poland and in other countries of Central Europe, a growing interest in the American military history, especially in the American Civil War. A lot of people start asking questions about Polish participation in this bloody conflict that torn the American nation apart. Nations such as the Poles or the Irish, who in the 19th century were deprived of their own countries, were also a reservoir of conscripts for nearly every army of that period. Although the fates of the Irish Civil War veterans have extensive literature, the stories of the Polish veterans are still waiting to betold. This article focuses on three letters written by general Wladimir Krzyzanowski, c.o. of the 58th New York Volunteers Regiment (a.k.a. Polish Legion) found in the archives of the Polish Mission at the Orchard Lake Schools, Michigan. The letters (previously not recognized by Polish historians) are valuable documents showing the mechanism of promotions in the Union Army during the Civil War. They are also a primary source for the prosopography of the Polish ACW veterans. Thanks to the New York State Regiments rosters for the period of the Civil War as well as other sources we may trace the course of duty of these soldiers, try to determine their predecessors and successors. These letters are a glimpse into the ordinary life of the soldiers of that period.
