Contemporary America has discovered high, cultural, therapeutic, as well as commercial values in the notions of history, memory and nostalgia . Renewed interest in languages of ethnics, their literature and Old World customs constitutes evidence of a surge in ethnic identity . ; The American nostalgic ethnic revivalism also affected Polish American studies and Polish American literature, even though the latter is probably still establishing its place in the canon of American literature, and has undergone a long struggle to be considered an object worthy of scholarly research . ; Anthony Bukoski is a contemporary Polish American writer whose creative work explores the complex experiences of Polish immigrants and their descendants caught between the ethnic and the dominant host cultures . The aim of the present article is to shed some light upon ethnic expression in Bukoski`s short stories especially grounded in ubiquitous nostalgia for the past, the controlling forces of folk religiosity, the network of family relationships, the attachment to the land, and polka music, which permeates community life within the ethnic reality
