Item ZIGNOROWANA, STRACONA CZY ZAPOMNIANA? OBRAZ POLSKI W PODRĘCZNIKACH DO NAUK SPOŁECZNYCH W SZKOLE PODSTAWOWEJ W STANACH ZJEDNOCZONYCH(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM w Poznaniu, 1996) Field, Sherry L.The study presents results of research based on analysis of five elementary social studies textbooks series used on elementary level in American schools (27 textbooks were examined). Results of this research are reported in three sections. First one presents the treatment of Poland in the Primary Grade (1-3). The second section describes Poland's treatment in the Intermediate Grades (4-6), the third section includes findings related to general trends and themes discovered in the inquiry. Poland suffered continued neglect in American school studies for almost half century. According to authors' opinion recent political developments in Poland should make possible a much changed portrayal of the country in the American social studies curriculum. At the end of the study some suggestions for co-operative development by Polish and American educators have been given.
