The book ""The Polish Peasant in Europe and America: Organization and Disorganization in America"" by William I. Thomas is a sociological study of the Polish immigrant experience in America. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the organizational structure of Polish peasant communities in Europe, and the second volume examining the disorganization and assimilation of these communities in America. The first volume provides an in-depth analysis of the social and economic organization of peasant communities in Poland, including their family structures, religious practices, and economic systems. The second volume explores the challenges faced by Polish immigrants in America, including their struggles to adapt to a new cultural and economic environment, their experiences of discrimination and prejudice, and their efforts to maintain their ethnic identity and cultural traditions in the face of assimilation.Overall, the book provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the Polish immigrant experience in America, shedding light on the complex dynamics of immigrant communities and the ways in which they adapt and change over time. It is a valuable resource for scholars of immigration, sociology, and ethnic studies, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of Polish Americans.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
