"This book examines the history of the Polish Singers Alliance of America (PSAA) as
an ideological organization. As a case study of an immigrant cultural organization
that evolved demographically into an ethnic organization of the succeeding generations,
it documents the extent to which the politics of the homeland engaged an immigrant
and ethnic community over a century. This is a study of immigrant nationalism, as
articulated by immigrant and ethnic singing societies. The survival of the Polish
Singers Alliance as an ideological organization suggests considerations about the
ability of an immigrant and ethnic culture to resist and to adapt to America's assimilative
powers."--Jacket
