Majewski, Karen Marie. "Traitors and True Poles: Narrating a Polish-American Identity, 1880-1939," American Culture Program, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, August 1998.
This study identifies Polish-language prose fiction produced by turn-of-the-century immigrants in the United States before World War II. These works provide an insider’s view into early Polonia’s cultural life and history, its ideological rivalries, and its attempts to define and shape a common ethnic identity. Guided by the imperative of partitioned Poland’s lost statehood and competing visions of American Polonia’s role in the nation’s political resurrection, journalist-authors created a transnational literature which encouraged readers to interpret their emigration as a process beginning in the context of Poland’s political oppression and ending not in Americanization, but in the affirmation of Polishness.
