Summary/Abstract: In the article, the author presents the disappointment, as recorded in the literary texts of the Solidarity emigration, with the Western world, particularly the USA, the myth of which used to be very persistent in the People’s Republic of Poland as well as in early nineties. One source of this disappointment were the egalitarian ideas shared by the generations that grew up in Communist Poland. As a result, the American experience of authors of the Solidarity emigration has brought a gradual deconstruction of American myths in their artistic output.
