Editorial Reviews

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.

The Polish Review

It is certainly an interesting title and valuable in its discussion of an unfamiliar theme.
