Traitors and true Poles : ISBN: 0821414690 OCLC: 613383757 Ohio University Press, Athens : ©2003. "This is the first extended look at Polish-language fiction written by turn-of-the-century immigrants, a forgotten body of American ethnic literature. Addressing a blind spot in our understanding of immigrant and ethnic identity and culture, Traitors and True Poles challenges perceptions of a silent and passive Polish immigration by giving back its literary voice."--Jacket. |
