Poland and the Making of Transnational Social Science makes a major intervention in our understanding of the global migration of ideas and the ways social scientists in newly independent Poland influenced and were influenced by colleagues in the US during the interwar and early Cold War period. It focuses uniquely on questions of nationalism, minority rights, border-drawing, migration, and other pressing issues of postwar Eastern Europe, demonstrating how these issues also informed the thinking of scholars in the US on the related matters of African American civil rights, antisemitism, and the impact of migration. The study is based on extensive archival research in collections around the world and makes use of previously untapped documentation to tell a unique story.
