There is a long history of immigration from Eastern Europe to the United States that began in the 1880s. Since that time, significant diaspora communities have developed in the United States. The members of these groups have developed businesses, participated in their local communities, attended colleges and universities, and shared their culture. Even with such active participation and growth in American life, little is known about the individual community members. Often these communities are forgotten within the fabric of American life. Navigating Education as a Forgotten Immigrant tells the stories of these community members.
Each chapter shares the story of a member of the Eastern European community living in the United States. Some stories are from the perspective of a first-generation immigrant, while others are from second-generation immigrants. Their stories highlight their commitment to life in America, the challenges they face, their evolution of identity, and what it means to live in two worlds simultaneously.

“The argument that the story of the Eastern European immigrant—and the diaspora communities they built—has not been told is clearly evident when looking at it from the lens of those immigrants who have struggled to thrive in the United States. […] These invaluable insights into learning a new language, getting through the college admissions process, or building a life in the United States can assist those who support immigrants today. [Lisa Wisniewski] has begun a journey into opening the doors to the Eastern European immigrant experience.”
John Kania, Goodwin University
