The monograph "Invisible Groups in Poland", edited by Anna Kotlarska-Michalska, Kathleen J. Farkas and Ryszard Romaniuk, is an important one for Polish communities of theoreticians and practitioners concerned with social policy, the sociology of social work, social assistance, and social work. It discusses key phenomena and social problems and their solutions through social work in Poland and the USA at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century. This highly successfulwork is an innovative review of diverse positions and a reflection on vital social problems and their resolution through social work in both countries.

Overall the high substantive values of the monograph, the high level of research and the experience of the authors and editors place "Invisible Groups in Poland" among the most successful, innovative and competently implemented expert studies in our country. Not only the dissemination but also the distinction of this study on the Polish scene is fully justified. Undoubtedly, the monograph should not only be published as an example of the possibility of international cooperation between academic communities in Poland and the USA, but should also constitute a basis for discussion among all parties with an interest in the processes transforming contemporary Polish society, and should be obligatory reading for students in various fields of study and researchers on this important issue.
