For years state farm (and later exstate farm) communities have been shaping a
 specific syndrome of the so called “culture of poverty”. The community members do
 not receive any social capital by virtue of upbringing or education. Social scientists
 noticed potential for underclass formation among exstate farm workers. Despite the
 fact that the above mentioned process has been going on for years, researchers still
 express doubts as to the possibility of underclass formation in Poland, which may be
 due to interpretative and terminological discrepancies as well as the specific modeling
 of this phenomenon. Our paper deals with the subject of possible emergence of
 underclass in Poland in the context of English theoretical debates, backed by classical
 American reflections. We shall try to show that in discussions on the nature of
 underclass, we can actually abandon the disagreements stemming from the primacy of
 structural or cultural factors in the complex process of underclass formation.
 Our research and literature review suggest that we can identify an existing Polish
 underclass (of a local character), which created its own system of behavior, values and
 norms, which can be described as a “culture of poverty”.
