Polish Americans celebrate their ethnic identity in myriad ways, including Pączki Day celebrations, Dyngus Day parties, kolędy singalongs, and dance and other performances. These types of events are examined in the context of theories of ethnicity persistence and dissipation, as well as through the lens of invented traditions. Results of a survey of 409 event participants are presented, which reveal that participants believe strongly in preserving Polish and Polish American culture, as well as the need for authenticity in these events. The role of food, drink, and polka music is examined, and distinctions are drawn among the various events based in part on the sponsoring organizations. Analysis is offered of differences between Polish American and non-Polish American participants, and some tentative thoughts are offered about the responses of various cohorts of Polish Americans. While for most Polish Americans, ethnic identity has become largely symbolic, it still can have consequences that go beyond mere celebration. A theory of latent ethnicity is presented, which argues that these events maintain ethnicity symbolically, and that Polish American ethnicity can then be awakened in everyday life, particularly during presidential elections.

course in the country as a whole” (108). Events such as Jireš’s altercation derived their drama precisely from the fact that they were not everyday occurrences, argues Jeschke (113). But the exceptionality of Jireš’s case could be profitably underscored from another angle as well. Schoolteachers such as Jireš were a distinct and perhaps even somewhat isolated group in interwar Czechoslovakia, argues Tara Zahra, on account of their national zeal which far surpassed that of the rest of the state’s contemporaneous, “nationally indifferent” population (Kidnapped Souls: National Indifference and the Battle for Children in the Bohemian Lands, 1900–1948 [Ithaca, 2008], 52–54). Jeschke simultaneously reconstructs the First Czechoslovak Republic’s railways as a social and material world. Newspaper articles detailing conflict on trains and travel accounts penned by passengers are analyzed alongside the bricks and mortar of station buildings, signposts and the politics of the languages they were written in, tunnels and other feats of infrastructural engineering, and the trains themselves—from the ergonomics of their seating to the technical specifics of their horsepower. By repeatedly bringing the railway’s material culture and the legislation and practices associated with it into conversation, Jeschke shows how deeply one influenced the other. Ideology and engineering combined to create Czechoslovakia’s interwar railway network. Jeschke duly understands the railway as so much more than the sum of its rails and rolling stock. It might seem strange to write a history of the railways just as the attention of Europe’s politicians, scientists, and business elites turned to the roads and the skies, but relationships between old and new technologies are not zero-sum: Czechoslovakia’s railways indeed entered a dynamic new phase of motorization and development in a bid to see off precisely the threats posed by the motor age (171). Showcasing the adaptation of an already widely diffused technology, and highlighting the role played by its mass usership in its resignification, Jeschke moves against the direction of travel of earlier histories, bringing his reader along for a most thought-provoking and entertaining ride.
"（108）。杰施克认为（113），像吉雷什的争吵这样的事件之所以具有戏剧性，正是因为它们并非日常事件。不过，从另一个角度强调吉雷什事件的特殊性也是有益的。塔拉-扎赫拉（Tara Zahra）认为，在战时的捷克斯洛伐克，像吉雷什这样的学校教师是一个独特的、甚至可能有些孤立的群体，因为他们的民族热情远远超过了同时代其他 "民族冷漠 "的民众（《被绑架的灵魂》：被绑架的灵魂：1900-1948 年波希米亚地区的民族冷漠与儿童之战》（National Indifference and the Battle for Children in the Bohemian Lands, 1900-1948 [Ithaca, 2008]，52-54）。杰施克同时将第一捷克斯洛伐克共和国的铁路重建为一个社会和物质世界。在分析详述火车上冲突的报纸文章和乘客撰写的旅行记录的同时，还分析了车站建筑的砖瓦、路标和所使用语言的政治性、隧道和其他基础设施工程，以及火车本身--从座位的人体工程学到马力的技术细节。杰施克多次将铁路的物质文化以及与之相关的立法和实践引入对话，从而展示了两者之间的深刻影响。意识形态与工程相结合，造就了捷克斯洛伐克战时的铁路网。杰施克对铁路的理解远远超出了铁轨和机车车辆的总和。就在欧洲的政治家、科学家和商界精英将注意力转向公路和天空时，撰写一部铁路史似乎有些奇怪，但新旧技术之间的关系并非零和：捷克斯洛伐克的铁路确实进入了一个充满活力的机动化发展新阶段，以抵御机动时代带来的威胁（171）。杰施克展示了一种已经广泛传播的技术的适应性，并强调了其大众使用在其更新换代中所发挥的作用，他一反早期历史的发展方向，带领读者进行了一次发人深省、寓教于乐的旅程。
