Polish Political Emigrés in the United States of America 1831–1864 cover

This is detailed account of the character and problems of Polish emigres in the United States from the end of the Polish uprising of 1830 to the end of the second Polish uprising of 1863. Stasik presents the activities of the Polish political exiles in the United States over a period of more than thirty years, explaining many of the basic causes of the emigration.

Stasik's classic study of Polish emigration to the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century is now made accessible to a wider audience by the long overdue translation of Eugene Podraza... American and English scholars will appreciate this contextualization which Stasik naturally assumed was common knowledge for Polish readers. -- Kenneth F. Lewalski The Polish Review It is certainly an interesting title and valuable in its discussion of an unfamiliar theme. -- Aleksandra Kazlowska Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies
