Thomas, William I. and Znaniecki, Florian

This great work, originnally published in 5 volumes, is designed for

v. i comprises a study of Polish family and community groups.
v. 2 treats disorganization and reorganization in Poland; organiza-

The material used consists of original letters and family documents,

Polish people deplore the thot that this study may be taken as a
representation of their race. They say that the cases studied were from
the lowest social scale; that the average Polish peasant is a man of
character, self-respect and pride; and that "disorganization" is a matter,
not of race, but of changing social conditions.
