  • Between Immigrants Poles and Ukrainians in the United States During the Time of the Cold War: a Few Reflections
    Ad Americam. Journal of American Studies 18 (2017): 35-50 ISSN: 1896-9461, https://doi.org/10.12797/AdAmericam.18.2017.18.03 Anna Fiń Institute of Philosophy and Sociology Pedagogical University of Krakow, Poland Between Neighbors – Between Immigrants Poles and Ukrainians in the United States During the Time of the Cold War: A Few Reflections This article deals with the problem of ethnic relations between Polish and Ukrainian im- migrants in the United States between the years 1945-1991 by way of a sociological inter- pretation of the historical process. The author describes two basic forms of intergroup be- havior including conflict relations (factors triggering conflict) and intergroup cooperation. The paper therefore tries to reveal the correlation between what “has happened” between members of the groups in European conditions and how this impacts intergroup relations in the diaspora. Key words: ethnic relations, “displaced borderland,” Polish and Ukrainian emigrations in the U.S., Polish-Ukrainian relations in the U.S., political emigrations Introduction Although the representatives of social science seem to agree that “sociology of eth- nicity is not equivalent to sociology of migration” (Fenton 148), one writing about migration cannot omit the issue of ethnic intergroup relations, actually being a con- sequence or a result of a complex and widely understood migration process. When following the proceedings of the subject literature, in particular in the U.S., we can observe that the prevailing majority of research conducted in this scope has been re- lated to racial relations, as well as to relations between the dominant group and the minorities.

  • The Sound of Ethnic America: Prewar “Foreign-Language” Recordings & the Sonics of Us Citizenship
    THE SOUND OF ETHNIC AMERICA: PREWAR “FOREIGN-LANGUAGE” RECORDINGS & THE SONICS OF US CITIZENSHIP Mathew R. Swiatlowski A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of American Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal Sharon P. Holland Timothy Marr Michael Palm Andrea Bohlmam © 2018 Mathew R. Swiatlowski ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mathew R. Swiatlowski: The Sound of Ethnic America: Prewar “Foreign-Language” Records and the Sonics of US Citizenship (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) This dissertation explores the juncture of sound and citizenship to consider how the boundaries of nation are maintained at both geospatial and cultural borders. Specifically, the project concerns “foreign-language” recordings made by US recording companies prior to World War II (hereafter, prewar). With the onset of war in Europe in 1914, “foreign-language” recordings were increasingly cut domestically, featuring vernacular performers of the Great Wave of immigration that brought Hungarian, Syrian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Polish, Mexican, Chinese, and Japanese peoples, alongside a host of other nationalities, to the US beginning in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Initially marketed to specific immigrant populations in the US, these recordings eventually became the province of postwar record collectors and the reissue music market by the 1970s. The narrative of the project draws much of its power by connecting their discrete moments of circulation with the political realities that shaped their audition. As such, the project examines the interplay between, what I call, the “national vernacular imaginary” and state policy in regards to immigration and citizenship.
