Polish-American Music in Detroit: Negotiating Ethnic Boundaries
Abstract
dc:descriptionA successive pattern of Polish immigration to the United States has continued since the late-nineteenth century. In the Detroit metropolitan area this pattern has produced an ethnic community which includes third and fourth generation Polish-Americans as well as post-World War II emigres. The disparate backgrounds and political orientations of the pre- and post-World War II immigrants and their descendants have resulted in a community which, despite its members' common national heritage, is not uniform. Its varied constituency is expressed through a multitude of musical styles.
