Definición

  • Polish Americans, numbering nearly 9 million in the 2000 census, are one of the largest ethnic groups in the United States. Immigrants from Poland, a country with an estimated population of 38.1 million people in 2007, have had experiences similar to those of the Irish and Italians, but unlike these groups, Poles have immigrated to the United States primarily since World War II. Polish migrants needed to overcome economic problems and personal hardships just to make the journey. [Source: Encyclopedia of Race, Ethnicity, and Society; Polish Americans]
